Day Ten: Split, Croatia

Hello from Split, Croatia! This is our last night abroad. We spent the day on the way to our final destination, Split, Croatia.

When we arrived, we had lunch and toured Diocletian's Castle. The castle was a retirement home for the Roman emperor and has been standing since the fifth century. Though no longer used, the castle now houses shops and homes within its walls.

We also saw one interesting sight: a worker was adding European Union flags to the Croatian national flags. 

Croatia has been preparing to celebrate its entry into the EU on Monday; there are huge parties on "EU Eve," as one of our members put it. Another members said we can say we were among the last visitors to Croatia before it joined the EU. We are sad that our amazing trip is coming to an end, and we are all so happy to have had this amazing experience and to be heading home.
