Yes, I made it to Dubrovnik on March 12. It was a very rough trip, with 3 little planes and 1 big plane. The BORO got me! The Boro is a wind from the north, that blows down the Swiss Alps in little gusts. When the Boro blows, the planes will not land at the Dubrovnik airport. The plane lands at the Split airport, which is a 5 hour bus trip from Dubrovnik (my sister Diana might remember this). Lucky for me, I got on the first bus seat, so I had a view of the Adriatic coast until dark. Someone from the college met me at the bus station and took me to my very lovely apartment.
The apartment is across the street from my last apartment, it is cheaper, but very nice. All new kitchen and appliances, fancy lighting, very comfortable. Bill and Maya will be joining me April 4, and we should all fit just fine.
The students are adjusting well, they drink like fish, beer is cheap. They roam around old town till dawn. Not sure if I will be able to get them to do any film work. They have a lot of field trips for all their classes. Since I have a small group (5 students) we join forces with the Sketchbook Class.
Tomorrow we are going to STON, to film the shellfish farmers. Hope the camera doesn't fall in the water. It is oyster season so I am going to have to down a few, I have never had an oyster in my life. I guess this is one thing I can still try, even though I am almost 60 years old!
E-Gads, who is that old lady peering back at me in the mirror?
