I told her Marco Polo, but then I remembered there was a Croatian Pope which lead her to asking me how many famous Croatians are there. So, I am asking all of you. What famous or infamous Croatians are you aware of? Her teacher told her that she was the first Croatian he had ever met. She said there are a "ton" of us, and were really fun. Becca told her teacher that she would let him know how many famous ones we know of. She is even bringing a Generalic print that we have to school.
