(Above is a photo of a building in Vukovar. Clint and I spent time walking around this city and I loved this building, I must have 25 photos of it)
On to Osijek, Croatia which is located in eastern Croatia, in the region of Slavonia. It’s the 4th largest city in the country with a population of approximately 96,000 people. Zagreb, Split and Rijeka are the other cities, Zagreb being the capital. The square we spent time in while in Osijek was lovely and there was a statue of Ante Starcevi, Father of our Homeland. He was a politician, publicist, and writer and was the founder and leader of the Croatian Party of Rights, advocating the independence of a Croatian state.
We also went to the Osijek Cathedral or the Church of St Peter and Paul.

We were fortunate that the tour we were on took us to a local family’s house for a traditional meal. It was a great meal and we watched the Mom working in the kitchen after which, we all ate together, family style. By that I mean, they just put bowls and plates of food on the table and we passed them around. It was very sweet and we really enjoyed their company and the food.
