Tamara...What beautiful pictures! I'm headed home to pack my bags to visit!! LOL!!
However, you forgot to mention that Croatian currency is called the "Kuna," which is Croatian for the marten, a ferret-like little rodent prized for its luxurious fur.
Not only that, but the Kuna is divided into 100 lipa...which is the Croatian name of the Linden LIME tree!! How many countries can boast that their money is named after a weasel and a lime tree? LOL!!
BTW, love the town's name of "Hum." Would fit right in.with some of our Texas towns...Muleshoe, Screwdriver, and Gun Barrel City to name a few!!
Thanks again for your wonderful tour!!
