Grounded Traveler

This week : Beer at the Post Office

This nice stack of empty beer bottles was taking in Trstenik Croatia. We stopped there for a night on my Contiki sailing cruise of the area last year. It really is a very small town, but totally awesome. The info office and post-office where in the same building right next to the only store in town I saw. This stack of bottles were waiting patiently to be picked up and replenished.

It is such an odd picture, but brings back great memories of that evening and walking around the town, sitting on the steps with friends drinking beer as the sun went down.
