Pictures From The Rainy First Day

Pictures on cloudy days, well at least the ones I take, never look great.  But here are some from our first full day in Split

Part of Diocletian's Palace

The Peristyle is the square at the

heart of the Palace. At the back

 of this photo is where Diocletian's

living quarters were.

The tower of the Cathedral

of St. Domnius, the former

mausoleum of Diocletian.

The Cathedral is both the

smallest cathedral in the

world and the oldest building

to be a cathedral (it wasn't

built to be a cathedral, so

it's NOT the oldest

cathedral in the world).

The logo of the Split soccer team.

Apparently the owners of this

building near our apartment are

big fans.  Very cool logo you can

see lots of places.  They are currently

in fourth place in whatever league

Hajduk is in, with two wins and

two draws.  And that's your 

morning sports update.

I picked up some tasty

prosciutto and this photo

at the tiny butcher shop down

the street from our VRBO.

The Church and Convent of St. Francis,

just off the Trg Republike Square, 

which is a rectangle.  I include the

name of the square simply to point

out that the first word consistent of

three consonants and no vowels. 

The cloister of the Church and Convent.

It's right near Trg Republike Square,

which is famous for concerts and the

fact that the first word has no vowels.

(Editor: You already mentioned that.

Writer: I know.  It's just mnd blwng.)
