Let's Splitska!

(The title is named after our favorite bank that we see everywhere around here: Splitska Banka)

(We've added a few different entries so you might want to start with the updated 'Zagreb to Sibenik' entry to read it in oder)

We woke up trying to come to terms with the fact that our ipod was gone ("We won't have as much to carry now", "we could have lost something much more important", "this is a lesson in not becoming attached to material things", etc...) We enjoyed our breakfast by the ocean and then Michael went ahead into town to the internet cafe to change various passwords that he thought might have been stored on the ipod. I went to the bus station to see if maybe they had a lost and found. The two women working there were so friendly and went out of their way to try to communicate with me and help that even though they couldn't find the ipod, I left in good spirits. The internet cafe where I was supposed to meet Michael was closed so not knowing where he was, I decided to stop by the restaurant we had eaten at, just in case the ipod had slipped out of my bag there. I asked a waiter there, and he replied calmy, as if he'd been waiting for me, "Yes, I have it. Wait here". It seemed too good to be true, so I tried not to get my hopes up as I waited. But sure enough, we walked back out with the ipod in his hands! Thank you Ante and thank you Restoron Fontana!
I left relieved and elated, but I still had no idea where Michael was. We had walked by another internet cafe the day before, but finding it through the maze of little alleys was not easy. After passing the same corner (and same group of British folks) about three times, I finally found it, also closed and also no Michael. I left a note saying to meet me in the main square, then walked back to the first internet cafe. There I found a note from Michael (that he'd written 5 minutes earlier) saying that he also was trying to find the second cafe! I wrote back on his note and then sat down in the main square for a cappucino as I tried to figure out the best way to surprise Michael with the good news. He found me a few minutes later, but I didn't even get a chance to use my rehearsed lines because he'd been to the restaurant too and knew that I had the ipod.

Again, this thing is getting too long! Let me sum up the rest of our experiences today: We love love love Trogir and highly reccomend it to everyone! We took a bus to Split (another beautiful but much bigger town), saw more Mestrovic sculptures (I've decided he's my favorite artist), and checked out times for the boat tomorrow to Hvar island, our next stop.
