What we did during our month in Split, Croatia
We’ve had a nice time here in Split, Croatia. What we’ve seen of the country is as beautiful as we were told. This blog post highlights most of the things that we did to fill our time while we called Split home during the month of June 2026.
On My Croatian Bookshelf
I really did not expect to find a lot of books about Croatia, considering that it is a relatively young country, born in the 1990s during the anti-communist era with other Balkan and Baltic nations.
How is Split Croatia: A slow travelers perspective.
We’ve never visited this part of Europe before but Croatia has been highly recommended to us by friends and acquaintances for years, so we’ve really been looking forward to it with high expectations.
Time for a Dental Visit in Split, Croatia
Time for our six-month dental cleaning/checkup. We’ve had dental care in a number of countries now, but this is the first time in Europe. Wil Europe be different?
Filling a Prescription in Split
This is a little bit of an update to a blog post Trevis wrote last year about getting prescription drugs in Mexico City. It was very easy there. It was pretty easy in Turkey also, as well as in Thailand and in Vietnam, so how about in the E.U.?
Church in Croatia
On one of our first days in Split, we took a guided tour of Diocletian’s Palace. Diocletian was one of Rome’s most powerful emperors and unlike many rulers of his time, was not assassinated, but retired on his own terms.
The Second Jaunt – Around the world again.
My father in law described our travel segments using the word ‘jaunt’ and I love it. I’ll be using that from now on — well, at least for as long as we continue our current cadence of traveling for 5–6 months at a time and returning to the US during the spring and again in the fall.
Repositioning Cruises, a good way to cross the ocean?
On our second transoceanic cruise we’ve now had more opportunity to experience using them as a means of transportation between countries. We’ve also gotten to experience two different cruise companies. This post is about our experiences so far and my feelings about these cruises.
Finding a Church Abroad
My dad asked me the other day how we find Lutheran congregations to worship at around the world, and I thought the answer might be useful to other Christian travelers.
