Looks like they have space for one beach between Ploce and Dubrovnik

My wife and I took a cruise for our honeymoon that stopped in Kotor, Montenegro. For fun, we rented a car and drove up to Split in Croatia along the sea. That means we got to drive through that strip of Bosnia. We stopped and had lunch at a little pizza place in Neum, Bosnia.

The people in the pizza place asked us how in the world we came to be there. 😆

How long ago was this? A road trip along this route I think is pretty common and Dubrovnik is a very popular tourist destination these days, especially since they joined the Schengen area.

Its been common for a while, but I think the point is people dont really stop there

Kotor looks gorgeous. Is it any way interesting there?

I know this is due to context, but "is KOTOR interesting" is a very entertaining question.

(I hope this isn't offensive. It's not meant to be.)

"between unknown and scrub" there's a song in there somewhere

That's actually really interesting!

TL;DR they gave the coast to the Ottoman Empire hundreds of years ago for free because they were tired of fighting invaders from the sea. Free protection in exchange for cities they weren't able to defend anyway.

Man. That story turns the whole situation on its head. Fascinating. Thanks!

Republicans have always been at the top of the leaderboard when it comes to corruption-based gerrymandering.

The Illinois Democrats have some stuff going on too. I mention this not to “both sides 🤪” but because it’s important to be aware of the non-fascists’ wrongdoings too, so you aren’t caught off guard by occasional accurate information from corrupt fascists. Wasn’t that the state where the governor tried to sell Obama’s seat after he became president?

Edit: fixed link

Commuted his sentence. I guess his love for corruption exceeds his opposition to Democrats, but we know that. His love of corruption exceeds everything.

Most of the towns along the sea were parts of the Venetian Republic and share a lot of common culture through that. There's no dividing them at this point.

Croatia: "Hold my beer, watch me landlock this MFer right here..."

On the flip side, at least they don't need much border security. Unless it's Croatia invading.
