Well, my time in Dubrovnik was wonderful, as expected. Everyone says how beautiful the city is and I figured it was overstatement but I was wrong. It really is an amazing place filled with fascinating history and extremely friendly locals. I was aided by an excellent man who housed me in his computer shop (hearkens back to my nerd days!) and his friend even gave me a personal tour of the city. Thanks Dubo and Antonija! There are plenty of photos and a few videos updated to let you see what Im talking about.
Today (in fact, as soon as I finish this entry) I am heading to Montenegro, country number 10. The Bay of Kotor is supposedly stunning, so I look forward to it. The weather seems pretty fair; a bit chilly, but that is good for cycling. Rain is in the forecast later this week...the worst kind too- just above freezing temperature! We will see how that goes. Thanks again to all the folks with words of encouragement. It is extremely uplifting to know that you all are traveling along with me. Another big thanks goes out to my Nana and Pap for a generous donation. Not only will that help keep me fat (or at least fed) and happy on the road, but it puts the fundraising up to the first bicycle purchased for World Bicycle Relief! YAAAAY.
Anyways, going to go spend the rest of my kuna on groceries (Montenegro is back on the euro). Dont know the internet situation down in those parts, but Ill do my best to check in before heading into Albania near the end of this week. Until then, keep the pedals spinning (metaphorically speaking for most of you!).

Rob, relooking at the photos--those latenight parties getting into the boat didn't have a lifejacket in sight--you were wise to "pass" on transportation home with those guys! Safety Scott would be proud of you!
