After a couple of days in a bustling city,we were ready to experience the slower pace of Croatian countryside.
Our lodging was a tiny, former vineyard home.
It had electricity and running water,
but no internet.
When traveling it's a goal to feel at home,
make it special,
put out family photos.
On the back road (the only road) to Viscar,
we were attracted to roadside cafes with pigs roasting.
FYI: an innocent, young pig at three months already weighs 40 pounds
and
is ready for market
and
then onto a grilling spit!
Our evening dinner hosts were most welcoming and conversational.
(even offered to snap a photo)
They cooked up a delectable, memorable meal
ending with a complimentary jam-filled pancake for dessert.
(possibly causing future indigestion)
Instead of a valet service,
a host motioned for oncoming road traffic to stop
as one backed out (that would be Tom) into it.

Driving back to town,
passing several honey, wine and grappa stands,
we found it tempting not to purchase an item or two.
You never know what gourmet treat hasn't been discovered yet!
