Split and Vukovar

Just for those of you who dont know where Croatia is or Split here is a picture of Croatia. Down by the palace in the center of the city this is a big mural on one of the walls. The city of Split is in the little cove along the coast. I have been to the island of Brac and Hvar which I think you can see from the picture, they are the two closest and bigger islands on the map.

Here in Croatia they celebrate a day of rememberance for those who fought for their freedom. I cant remember the exact day but it is towards the end of November. Our Croatian friend Z likened it to our 9/11. The main ceremony takes place in Vukovar which is where the fighting toook place. But here in Split there is a street named after Vukovar, which is Vukovarska. On this day all the people of Split light a candle and place it out on the the Vukovarska street in rememberence. It was pretty cool to drive down one of the longest main streets here and see it lined up with candles.
