Our Visit
We make many friends as we travel. On our hike up to the fortress above Kotor, John spotted a gentleman with a West Virginia University hat. Turns out, Rod and Elaine live in John’s home state. We became fast friends and continued the hike that day with them. This picture was taken in Dubrovnik, Croatia, where we met up with them again for dinner. We hope to see them many times in the future as we travel abroad or back home!
