Much better day today even thought we got up at 4:30 am to watch the UW-OSU game streaming live. Amazing that it is possible to watch a football game being played in Corvallis, Oregon in a small town in Croatia. Heartened by the Husky victory, we set out to visit Motovun, supposedly the "best" Istrian hill town. Unlike yesterday, we found the right road immediately It was raining in Rovinj, but we drove into bright clear sunshine as we climbed a little. Motovun is beautiful, there are wonderful views of the countryside, and it is deserted at this time of year. We walked up the steep hill to the walled city, through the city and then took a walk on the ramparts, stopping to have a drink at an outdoor cafe next to the ramparts. A very pleasant Sunday in Croatia, topped off by a Skype call from the fabulous Kelly. Who could ask for more?
