gotcha... yeh i left when i was 7 (just turned 30). My mom moved to the US with my stepdad who was finishing his PhD at Univ. of Notre Dame. Got out of there before any shit hit the fan, though most of my relatives all live there still. I can def agree with you as to how much of a shit-show Zrce is... we stayed out of that side of the island after one short daytime visit to see what the hoopla was. I have spent some time in Zagreb, Brinje (7-years), Senj, Rijeka, Krk, Pag, Split, Hvar, and Dubrovnik. Looking forward to going back to visit for a couple weeks this summer!
