Water Polo & Kučišće


The morning was very beautiful.  The kids (five) had found hermit crabs (many) named them and made them homes, swimming pools, retirement homes and racing tracks!!  Tajci and I swam to a restaurant (maybe 2,000 meters) and had a nice coffee and swam back!! 

After much swimming and resting we drove to Korchula (the island not the city).  We ate pasta and then Čićo's brother and family joined us.  

Čićo and his brother played in a water polo match.  Outside, in the bay... Imagine (and look at the photos) how beautiful!!

Naturally it turned out that Čićo was a professional water polo player years ago (no kidding) and he was awesome.  Their team won 5-3.  I think Čićo had three goals (might have been two) and his brother 2 assists.

After the game more cousins and relations showed up till we had a full boat (maybe 20 in all).  We slowly sailed across the channel to Kučišće on the peninsula of Pelješac.

Pelješac is my office manager Maya's home "turf".

We were met at Kučišće by Zoran.  We were tied up about ten feet from the dock while we drank a few toasts and Tajci played guitar and sang.

It was an amazing experience!  The world was rocking (rather than the boat) for close to 24 hours after we got off!!

Next we drove to pick up the van and then to our apartment and quickly to bed.
