June 23rd, Zadar Roman Forum



6/23     Sunday
            Slow news day. We seem to be happy to sit around the garden and listen to Croatian hip-hop on the radio. Enjoying the breeze and the sunshine. We should be doing something, something…or not.
            We manage to walk into the city to the park on the promenade so I can have a swim. Bob sits on a bench in the shade and has a chat with an old German lady, via his Smartphone translator. Then, we stop for mineral water at a seaside café that looks like a Monet scene: white umbrellas and pink petunias, blue sea with sailboats and swimmers.
            We walk through the remains of the Roman forum at the city’s edge, where we can see that the later church on the site has used the broken columns and carved slabs of the Roman buildings as parts of its foundation.
