Today I had a required field lab for my cultural psychology class. We had lecture in the morning from a Croatian professor. It was very educational and interesting especially since I have never learned about the Croatian war before.
We headed into the old city to visit the war photos museum. It was incredible! They have different exhibits involving different wars. They also had books of past exhibits. The photos were heart-wrenching but really told the story. It was nice to see different perspectives surrounding many wars. And it also provided an artistic portrayal of many terrible acts. We also went to a palace in old town, that was for the rector. The Rector was a rotated position between elders. It was held for one month and meant for elders so no rash decisions were made. The palace didn't have very much because it has been ransacked 4 time over the centuries. Old town is very cool and only for pedestrians. It has lots of narrow streets and tiny shops. And it is surrounded by a fortified wall.
Dubrovnik is beautiful! The water is the bluest I have ever seen. It is so clear! I can't wait to go snorkeling. If it wasn't do hot and humid I would consider living here because of the sheer beauty!
Tonight is the opening of a HUGE music festival in the city. It lasts for 40 days. I think I might go to see what it's like. They have been setting up for it all day in the old city.
have fun snorkeling!!!!
