Dateline Milna, 7-14

Heat wave is a'comin'. Today promises to be plenty hot, so we take a
morning walk. By the time we return 2.5 hours later we are wringing wet
and overheated. Took the back road towards the big fish farm, but
ducked down a secret path, and found a beautiful little cove populated
only by moored sailboats.

This is our second walk. A couple of days ago we hiked out to Splitska
Vrata (Split's Gate), the narrow channel between Brac and Solta known
since antiquity as the entrance to the Imperial City of Split.

Of all things, we also went on a couples-date with Slavko and his new
bride, Nada, ending up at an open-air theater in the bigger neighboring
village of Supetar at midnight watching Tom Cruise (I know, I know, but
he did a really good job here) in Operation Valkyrie. I had to huddle
with my arms around Julia the whole movie to keep her from shivering
from the chill.

Also went up to see what shape Bella Bijela was in . . . walked in
circles for 1/2 hour on the hill above Milna, but finally found her,
visited with Ivan (who was watching my car for me) and his sister,
Angelka, and came home with agift of 1.5 liters of homemade white wine.

More on Bella later.
