Laugh (aka "Eat Your Heart Out Kristina)

Spring break in Rovinj, Croatia was a huge success! The weather was amazing, the people were great, and I basically did not stop laughing for four days straight. Amazing.

Tne day before I went to Croatia, I saw Vanessa! yay! She and her friend Elyse came to Koper, so I showed them around and then we ate at my favourite restaurant outside by the sea. Then we drove to Izola, Portoroz, and Piran and just wandered around in each town, had coffees and put our feet in the water. Pretty much a perfect day on the coast, not to mention it was realllly nice to see a familiar face.

Then we left for Croatia on Wednesday at around noon; it took about two hours to get there plus time at the border, so by 3 we were there and all set up. Each room had 5 people, and we just assumed they would be little apartments with bathroom and kitchen and beds, but it turned out that each group of 5 had a two story house to share. So we had 4 single beds, one double bed, a kitchen, two bathrooms, and furniture for both inside and outside. Our houses were right on the water as well, which was really really nice. So, basically, every day consisted of waking up, walking down to the grass/rock beach and laying in the sun for hours, then going back to the house and sitting outside while people would walk back and forth between all the houses stopping and chatting here and there, then have dinner, shower, and go outside again at night to drink and chat before going out. I had no idea what time it was almost 100% of the time. We would literally follow the sun..."well, it seems pretty high, I guess we can start drinking now" "well, the sun is going down, time for dinner" "well, the sun is coming up, time to go to sleep". It was a great time had by all, and there are many inside jokes and stories that I will probably remember for the rest of my life. I can honestly say I have never laughed so hard in my life. AND I have a semi-tan! Hazaah! Croatia for the win.

Tomorrow is my birthday, but I don't think anything much is going on. I didn't want to plan anything big because I knew everyone would be pretty boozed-out from croatia (and i was correct in thinking that). So I am going out for lunch with some girls and then at night maybe meeting up with some people at a local pub for a couple of quiet drinks if they feel like it. Today is apparently my surprise day; I'm sure most of you know what's going on, but I still don't...so yes, that is all I can really say about that haha. And that is pretty much it for this week...all the other canadians are away until thursday/friday/saturday so I am flyin solo yet again. It's nice to have some time alone though, especially after being around 30 people 24-7 in croatia for the past four days. Alone is good. I'll post some pics below from when Vanessa was here and a select few from Croatia. ENJOY!

Gorgeous clear blue water :)

So this photo needs a bit of explanation...one night the French boys decided to climb up a tree in front of my house. They also decided to take all of our patio furniture with them. So, when I was coming home from the bar, I hear "Erin, would you care to join me for a drink?"...I look up to see these two crazies (Tom and Ben) in the tree sitting in a chair with a beer on the table. I actually almost peed my pants laughing, and then I took this picture for you all to enjoy.
