1926 Kurt Hielscher Photogravure ‘Entrance Lacroma Monastery in Croatia’

(Photogravure registers an extraordinary variety of tones, through the transfer of etching ink from an photograph etched to special dampened paper run through an etching press. The unique tonal range comes from photogravure's variable depth of etch, that is, the shadows are etched many times deeper than the highlights. Unlike half-tone processes which merely vary the size of dots, the actual quantity and depth of ink wells are varied in a photogravure plate and are often blended into a smooth tone by the printing process.)

“Y porque así me ven, Maximiliano, con las manos en el regazo y las palmas vueltas hacia arriba, piensan que no hago otra cosa todo el día que contarme las líneas del amor y de la vida, las líneas de la mentira y el olvido, del sueño y de la risa, y muerta, sí, vieja y de risa, loca de olvido, a carcajadas acordándome de nada y con las lágrimas cayendo en el cuenco de mis manos confundidas con la saliva que escurre de mis labios como una hebra de pulque llorando por la muerte de nadie -la tuya- al otro lado de ningún mar -el Atlántico-, o con los ojos cerrados, invertidos, mirando la oscuridad, adivinando las volutas de mi cerebro, perdida en ellas como en un laberinto y preguntando a nadie -a todos- por un nombre jamás pronunciado -Fernando Maximiliano- y callada, sí, sin decir esta boca es mía, sin decir esta boca que una noche en el Cerro del Chiquihuite embarré con luciérnagas para que tú las apagaras con tus labios, sin decir estas manos que en la Isla de Lacroma coronaron tu frente con delirios y que estaban vivas y tibias y conocían el contorno de tu pecho y los meses más fértiles del año; sin decir estos pezones que maduraron como uvas azules en las aguas cristalizadas del Xinantécatl, sin decir estos ojos que con el luminoso reflejo de tu rostro se humedecían de esmaltados verdores, son míos. Y sin decir que son tuyos, que toda yo soy tuya, tuyas estas mis dos piernas que bañé con limón y polvo de piedra nácar y tallé con piedra pómez para que tú, cuando regresaras a México de tu viaje por las provincias, las encontraras más brillantes y lisas, tuyas las nalgas que restregué con rosas y polvos de arroz para que tú, cuando a la orilla del lago congelado te bajaras de tu caballo para montarlas y las vieras, las sintieras, las besaras más perfumadas y más blancas. Y también, también estos pechos que eran para ti y que yo los hubiera querido, redondos y macizos, que reventaran de leche para salvarte la vida con ellos: para que las señoras de Querétaro no te engañaran con sus naranjas inyectadas con agua tofana, ni las monjas con sus galletas de almendras envenenadas, ni la Princesa Salm Salm con sus pasteles rellenos de adormideras. Para salvarte la vida, Maximiliano, para que tu cocinero Tudos no te engañara con su goulasch de perro aderezado con láudano ni el Padre Soria con su vino de consagrar emponzoñado, hubiera ido a verte todas las mañanas a tu celda del Convento de las Teresitas, para darte de mamar de mis pechos, y para que siempre estuvieran llenos, para que nunca se les fuera la leche como se le fue a la infeliz de Concha Miramón cuando Juárez le dijo que no habría nada que salvara a Miguel de morir fusilado, le hubiera pedido al mensajero que viniera disfrazado de borrego y me los hubiera embarrado yo con sal mojada para que no se cansara de mamarlos.”

Just like that, it’s February. Did you even feel January pass you by? I sure as hell did not. It’s been one crazy month and my husband and I were totally wrong when we thought 2018 would become a little less busy for us. But like I always say – busy is good. And we always find time for fun anyways. Today’s post, however, is another one of my Throwback Travels. It’s 1°C outside in Berlin today with some sun peeking out so I thought I’d bring you over with me down (not so distant) memory lane to Dubrovnik in Croatia.

Dubrovnik where the weather was pure perfection when we went last summer. Where the water was just the most exquisite shade of blue. Where people were as bright as the sun and the food was just spectacular. I’ve bookmarked this place for my dream retirement. That’s how much I loved it.

You see, we arrived in Berlin in April last year. It was right smack in the middle of spring yet the weather wasn’t anywhere near pleasant. There was even a day when the weather decided to freak out and it snowed. I was, of course, ill-prepared for it and it resulted in a horrible bout of the flu. #TropicalGirlThroughAndThrough

So, once summer rolled in, I was itching for some time in the water. While Berlin does have lakes, they weren’t enough to satiate my craving for some sun, sea, and sand. Enter the upcoming end of the last season of Game of Thrones last year and the impending purgatory of a wait for season 8. That really was the push that my husband (who’s not a beach person, by the way) needed to get out of the city, file a one day leave, and get his wife the weekend beach trip she’s been begging for.

  And boy, did we enjoy.

History, culture, the beach, food, architecture, and a bit of geekery. If Dubrovnik was food, it would be pizza with all the different toppings we love, blending in beautifully over that perfectly done pie and crust.

I’m not going to talk about the must-sees in Dubrovnik in this post anymore. I already wrote about that for The Binge.

I also made a travel video for Rappler and an article about the businesses that are booming there because of Game of Thrones for Forbes.

But I will share some more tips towards the end of this article to make your trip more fun and budget-friendly.

Tips for Your Visit

Dubrovnik Card

If you want to save some serious Kuna, you better buy the Dubrovnik Card. It’s available in one, three, and seven-day versions starting at HRK171 (USD28.56). It gives you free public transport and lets you enter the major attractions – including the top of the city’s walls. My favourites such as the Maritime Museum, Fort Lovrijenac, the Franciscan Monastery, and the Cultural Historical Museum are also included so it’s such an amazing deal.

Just for the Dubrovnik City Walls and Fort Lovrijenac will already set you back HRK150 (USD25.05) so might as well get the card that lets you take the bus to and from your hotel as well.

Boat Tours

  Take the boat tour during lunch hour. Yes, around 12nn or 1pm while everyone is busy eating. We paid around EUR10 (USD12.42) and ended up having the glass bottom boat to ourselves because nobody else booked a tour for that time.

Where to Stay?

I can highly recommend the Valamar group of hotels. We stayed in Valamar Lacroma which came out pretty affordable at that time because we were able to book a few months before our trip. Luxury at an affordable rate should be my middle name. But that’s just one too many words.

I like their breakfast buffet as well with all the choices available. They have two swimming pools and staying at Valamar Lacroma also gives you access to the beach area of Valamar President which is right beside it.

How’s the swimming?

If like us, you’re used to powdery, soft sand, well you’re in for a bit of disappointment. Dubrovnik’s beaches are rocky but I ended up enjoying myself anyway. I just needed to swim with my flip flops in tow and get over the fear of jumping off the ledges that bring you to really deep parts of the water.

It was easy once I saw little kids doing it. They brought out my competitive gene.

You can also swim near the Old City. There are lots of rock formations by the sea where you can just leave your clothes and jump into the water – if you’re brave enough.

Shopping?

I urge you to shop and support the locals. Most of the Croatians in Dubrovnik make a living through the arrival of tourists in their city. Also, your hard-earned cash goes a long way. I didn’t see one shop that sold overpriced goods. Even some of the Game of Thrones and Star Wars collectables were affordable.

Their handmade items are of really high quality and the skin care they sell at the Franciscan Monastery is just amazing. Get the lavender cream if you’ve got sensitive skin!

What do we eat?

Seafood, seafood, seafood! Oh, and pizza at this really small place called Tomato Pizzeria – just outside the Old City (through Pile Gate). It’s near the bus station to Babin Kuk.

But make sure you get it with anchovies because why are you even near the Adriatic if you don’t want to have some? But seriously – they’re so good!

There are lots of choices inside the Old City and it’s such a lovely place to dine at for dinner.

  You sit outside, under the stars while you have a lovely dinner and drink some good wine. Bring a shawl as it can get windy at night, though.

If you’re someone looking for affordable options, I can assure you that you will find fancy restaurants inside the Old City that are extremely affordable. Especially if you compare the prices to like Berlin or Amsterdam.

Oh, and another thing – it’s good to note that as soon as you step out of the Old City, prices would drop even more. Even for that bottle of water or that scoop of ice cream you’ve been craving for due to the hot and humid weather.

And there you have it. My Dubrovnik photo diary! 🙂 Hope you enjoyed and once again, if you need any more information. Check out the links I posted above for the other articles I wrote and the video made about Dubrovnik.

Do share this on Pinterest if you enjoyed this post!

More later!

Love,

Carol

DALMATIA

PICTURESQUE DALMATIA

Within the Dominican church there’s a real Titian, and there are some very curious and attention-grabbing pic-tures by Nicolo Ragusano, a painter of Ragusa who lived within the fifteenth century. The cloisters comprise a white well-head, guarded by swish columns, orange-trees, and flowers, above which peer the small home windows of the monks. But when one needed to be a monk in Ragusa, absolutely it could be sensible to solid in your lot with the Franciscans on the different finish of the road, whose Romanesque fourteenth-century cloisters with octagonal columns are fairly lovely and in wonderful preservation. The capitals of the columns are carved with animals. Palms flourish there, and roses. Above, a terrace, with a beautiful balus-trade—a sequence of tiny arches resting on tiny columns, a kind of stone echo of the arches and columns under,—runs all around the court docket. The peace is profound, however not unhappy. As one lingers there one can perceive, certainly one can scarcely assist under-standing, the very peculiar attraction which should typically connect to the monkish life.

Ragusa incorporates some 9 thousand inhabitants. One in every of them remarked that eight hundred of those had been ecclesiastics. And he was unsympathetic sufficient so as to add, “E molto troppo!” Maybe his assertion was unfaithful. However actually the methods of Ragusa swarm with non secular. However,—one thinks of Rome, with its crowds of monks and its crowds of free-thinkers,—the inhabitants of Ragusa appear to be very religious. In virtually the entire many church buildings, always of the day, folks could also be discovered praying, meditating, telling their beads, worshiping at shrines of the saints.

Many lovely walks

Round Ragusa there are various lovely walks, on Lacroma, on Lapad by Gravosa, on Monte Sergio, on Monte Petka. A very very good drive is the expedition to Castelnuovo within the Bocche di Cattaro, alongside the Dalmatian riviera, which is as high-quality as virtually any a part of the French riviera, and which remains to be wild and pure, not but changed into a vanity- field. Those that take this wonderful drive will cross the frontier into Herzegovina, and, better of all, they’ll move by the fantastic vineyards of Canali, which roll in waves of gold to the very toes of a sequence of bare and savage mountains.

The voyage from Ragusa to Cattaro is likely one of the most interesting in Europe. The doorway into the bocche, the journey by means of them, and the arrival at Cattaro, hidden away like some valuable factor that should not be revealed to the uninteresting gaze of the extraordinary world, virtually, however mercifully not fairly, underneath the enormous shadow of the Black Mountain, make for the voyager what comes to appear at size a intentionally deliberate, and triumphantly carried out, scenic crescendo, which closes in sheer magic.
