On July 20, my cousin and I flew into Venice, Italy to drop off our younger cousin with her mission friends. After spending the day in Venice and the night with them in Trieste, we started on our own journey down the Croatian coast. We traveled to 3 completely different cities in Croatia: Dubrovnik, Mljet, and Hvar. At each one we met empowering people, saw beautiful scenery, and were in awe of everything around us. We ended the trip back in Venice eating pasta on the Grand Canal. (and then proceeded to have a cancelled flight and stuck in the venice airport for 24 hours).
