This picture is a little out of order but I can't figure out how to fix it without redoing my entire post. Anyway this was one of my favorite places we found while exploring Dubrovnik. I saw a sign and wondered what is was for, of course it was not in English (very frustrating). I found this little jewlery shop that was in a garden it was so pretty. I have never shopped in such a cool atmosphere. Notice the no picture sign? Just for the record Nicolle took this picture.Dubrovnik was a beautiful port town in Croatia. We went to a place called Old Town which was a fortified city built in the 13th century to protect the people from invasions from the sea. 
Here is a picture of the wall surounding the city. It is 20 feet thick is some places.
Here is a view looking up from the waters edge.
You might think that this place was just for tourists but most of the old buildings looked like they were apartment building. We took a turn off the beaten path and climbed and climbed stairs and we saw apartments where people were living in the old city.
This is a view looking down one of the little streets or sidewalks. I call them street because one we saw had boards over the stairs so they could drive a little tractor down it.
This old town had some beautiful buildings.
This is a view of the town outside the fort. Cement and stucko buildings with red tile roofs everywhere.
We were looking for a restaurant that I had read about on the internet that had cliff divers. When we asked for directions we were directed here. We went through a door in the fort wall and came out to this. It was these steep steps going down the cliff and it was a little cafe that served drinks just hangin there on the cliff. It was so neat.
This is a view looking up at the cafe.
This is a view of the ocean from the cafe. It was a beautiful sunny day. We didn't have very many of those on this trip.
We climbed all the way down the step and made it to the water edge. 3 days of the trip and this was the first chance we got to touch the Mediterranean sea. We took off our shoes and enjoyed the moment. It was a great day.
