Frank, other co-listers, Someone in Croatia gave me their email address but it has the mark over the C. If I send them an email without this mark, will they get it? My trip to Cres/Cherso was wonderful and I met many truly wonderful cousins I did not know I even had. Off season was the best for us as we got to see so much. We went to the graveyard and photographed the gravestones of our family and drove and walked from one end of the island to the other and went to Beli, Valun (had dinner here), Osor where there is a bust of an ancestor in the museum, Lubenice, Pernat and did some research for a friend in Mali Losinj. We rented a car in Trieste and drove through Italy, Slovenia and Croatia to take the ferry from Brestova to Cres/Cherso. Stayed at a wonderful pension (had a kitchen, living room, bedroom and bath) and the owner was wonderful and I am now helping her with some research. Went to my cousins Caffe Bar for a drink and met many, many locals. This island is absolutely beautiful and I shall return. Elaine
