For dennis and cynthia, a jaunt to Croatia is stirring experience
We traveled to Croatia this past November. My husband’s grandmother is originally from Croatia. We didn’t go back to dig into family history, but he hadn’t been there in more than 40 years. We looked into a cruise, but the Adriatac Sea was cold and choppy that time of year. Instead, we went with a group and traveled the coast by Mercedes bus. It’s the first time we did a group tour, but we’re glad we did — driving along the Adriatic coast is not for the light-hearted. Opatija — a small coastal resort area — is where we started. Many West Europeans travel there for holiday. Then we went to historic and large cities.
“It’s the most scenic spot on the Adriatic coast. It has an old town with marble streets closed to cars, along with museums and cafes.”
Cynthia Quick, who works at Ragdale Foundation, and her husband, Dennis Tuskan, enjoyed a trip to Croatia late last year.

In Split we saw the historic Diocletian Palace. He was a Roman emperor from Croatia who built it after he retired. He was best known for identifying four people to take over Roman rule rather than one. We came across a group of a capella singers who performed there. They had exquisite voices. We came home with their CD and have listened to it often. Dubrovnik was the furthest city south. It’s the most scenic spot on the Adriatic coast. It has an old town with marble streets closed to cars, along with museums and cafes. It was a beautiful place. A restaurant called Komen there we returned to twice. It had an open fire and seafood galore. They also had stuffed cabbage and things of that nature. Croatia was beautiful and scenic. It was dreamy.
