St. Martin and Snow

Hello Everyone. We awoke this morning to very pleasant sounds out of our window. The setting up of booths, and the carting in of wares. Excitement was in the air! We wandered across the street and asked the Pope (he looked like the Pope, white gown, big tall, white hat and a large ring) what was happening. (pictures are coming, so just imagine) He told us that it was the first day of the "Festival of St. Martin." Every year St. Martin helps release the next years wines. He apparently needs help with this and asks people to come and taste the wine. The Pope gave us our first glass of a nice, dry white wine and sent us over to the booth to get our glasses. At this point, we have both decided we now have a new favorite Saint. If he needs help releasing the wine then we are his women! So, over to the booth we go, get our nifty glasses. Again, imagine with us here.... they are white wine glasses in a supercool leather holder that hang around your neck. No need to use your hands to hold your glass! Our new favorite Saint is super, duper smart. We found some great import items, wooden bowls over 80 years old made from the Lipa tree. Get your checkbooks out because we bought all of them and are bringing them home. Who needs a job? The next big event of the day was the arrival of SNOW in Croatia. Yes, snow. For those of you who remember our original plans, we decided to go North to Prague instead of Croatia during week two. We outfoxed ourselves. Prague was seventy degrees, and we are wearing everything in our backpacks. Hats, scarves, gloves, and new boots included. Tomorrow we head even further south in hopes of sun in Dubrovnik. Stay tuned and let us know what the Weather Channel says. Is this normal?
