My morning started out with a service visit to a children's home and a hospital. It was different than I expected. The children's home was almost empty because in the summer the children are allowed to vacation with their families. The children are in this home because their parents have been deemed unfit by the court. But they are allowed visits and such. The home was very nice and was walking distance to a beach, where the kids often swim. But 46 students were very overwhelming to 12 children. I was sad because we didn't really complete any service and time with the children was very short. The hospital was also disappointing. We received a tour of the pediatrics unit and we each got a post card with art a child in the unit had made.
Later in the afternoon I headed to the beach to cool off. It is so hot in Croatia! And it is also humid. We found a rocky area with an entrance into the water and settled in. The water was thriving with fish and urchins. Sadly it was so hot the water didn't even feel refreshing. But I still enjoyed it. I watched a beautiful sunset over the port and watched some beautiful sail boats sail away. My dad would love it here! I had the best fresh bread today and strawberry jam! It was such a great snack.
I go snorkeling tomorrow! I'm so excited! I know it's going to be beautiful. I hope I see lots of different fish and other creatures.
