Zadar in the Rain

On the way to Zadar we were faced with some of the reality of their recent war: "Do not approach. In this area is a great danger of mines." This area was extremely hard hit. We did see some bombed out buildings, but you could tell that how extensive the damage was from the number of new tile roofs.
As you can see from the Josie pose, we got to experience the "Sea Organ", which is a series of pipes that run up to the holes in the steps and are activated by the waves. The sound is loudest when a ship comes by. We were there for about 10 minutes just listening to the symphony made by the sea. More info on the Sea Organ

The foundation of St. Donatus church, 9th century. I was sad to see how they used the beautiful Roman columns for their foundation. Link to Church Donatus of Zadar
