Road to Orebic

Obviously, one of the great advantages to renting a car is that it frees you up to do some exploring.  Here's a picture I snapped in Croatia as I began the descent to Orebic to catch a ferry.  I chose this particular picture because, if you look to the right, you can just see the wall where I, forgetting that I'm fifty-two, jumped up onto and blew out both my knee and my hamstring - which led to some uncomfortable driving, let alone walking, later in the day.  Still, it is a beautiful picture.

Fortunately, the pain was not quite horrible enough for me to lose my balance and fall, although the phrase "fell to death from Croatian mountain" would definitely jazz up my otherwise dull obituary.
