Lounging on a hot summer afternoon
This stray, one-eyed black cat was hanging out on the seats in front of the Rector's Palace (Knezev Dvor).
I was amazed by the details in architecture that were so well incorporated into the design. Even these seats that were part of the outside wall of the palace were meant to encourage socializing and gathering of people.

If you ever go to Rio, don't miss a scenic helicopter flight over the city. This was one of the highlights of my short trip there.

Late afternoon on the Stradun
Stradun square in Dubrovnik's old town is really just a very wide street that makes an L shaped turn within the old city walls.
In the background you see the Srdj mountain rising above the city. The old gondola to the top was destroyed during the civil war.
Gradska Kavana's (city cafe) terrace is shaded by the awning visible in the photo, while Knezev Dvor (count's palace) is visible in the foreground on the right hand side.

Up the narrow streets of the old town
If you decide to walk up the narrow streets of Dubrovnik's old town, you will certainly get some exercise walking up the stairs... most certainly you will get lost too until you eventually find yourself beneath the old stone city walls. However... there you will also find some of the best restaurants and quiet places amidst the hustle and bustle of the city during busy summer months.
If you decide to visit Dubrovnik in the winter, make sure you don't slip down the polished stone stairs...
