We sat down outside as we got to the cathedral's square, so I could finish our pretzles. There was a bench under a large tree, so we rested and talked for awhile, watching the children and all the bus tours. I was surprised that most of these what looked to be 6th graders had cell phones. Most of them were on them, in between arriving in the bus and being rounded up for the tour. After about an hour, I fed the birds the rest of the bread and we wandered into the cathedral. I took loads of pictures. We must have spent like 2 hours looking at everything. I picked up a rosary for the only catholic I know, and grabbed a couple keychains from the kiosk outside the cathedral.
After we were done, we walked north past some souvenir shops, and passed another church on the left. It was getting dark, so I took some pictures of the park we walked through, and then looked around in some shops as we mosied down toward Jelacica Trg.
It started to get cold. It had been about 65F during the day, but the temperature would drop to 35 at night. The sky had been blue for the 2 days so far, but there were clouds over the horizon, and we knew there would likely not be blue sky for much longer. Unfortunetly, we were right. From that night on, it was cloudy for the rest of our stay, except one day while we were on Preko, and that was partly cloudy. It felt much like England.
We walked around past the church, through the park.
