Excursions to and from the Conference in Pula, Croatia, April, 2003

On the way to Croatia, an historic church in Hrastovije, Slovenia.

The 12th Century Church of the Holy Trinity in Hrastovije, built within a wall for defense.

Church of the Holy Trinity in Hrastovije, Slovenia in the Istra Peninsula

The interior of the 12th Century Church (additions made in the 14th and 15th Century)

The 15th Century Dance of the Macabre (Dance of Death) fresco where people of all ages and classes are being led to an open grave.

The "Dance of Death" continues on the wall.

We are over the Croatian Border and on the way to Pula via the Istra Peninsula. Buzet, like many towns in the Istra Peninsula, they are built on a hill and have a church tower in the center

The village of Motovun is another example of such hill top towns

The view from the village down to the valley below

Terry poses by one of two gates through the two walls that protect the medieval town

A view though the 2d gate into the town center

Notice the sign in the shop above the head of the boy

A close-up of the sign.

Terry finds some corn hanging from the roof of an outdoor pub

In the center above the roofs is Motovun in the distance on top of the hill. This was taken from viewpoint about 20 miles away.
