Podgora- Part 1

I arrived in Podgora on Friday. Podgora is a town in Dalmatia in Croatia. Both of my grandfathers came from Podgora and my father's mother came from Zivogosce, which is a few miles south of Podgora. Podgora is idyllic, with lovely beaches and a relaxed atmosphere. Not far behind Podgora, the Biokovo mountain rises up almost vertically to well over a 1000 metres. But the best thing about Podgora is visiting my charming and very hospitable relatives. While I've been here I have stayed with my father's cousin Niksa and his wife Ana, who have been incredibly accommodating. I spent most of Saturday with my father's cousin Lili, her daughter Lada and son-in-law Zoran and their three very cute children Petar (5), Vid and Iva (2 1/2 year old twins). I had a lovely and very relaxed day with them. On Sunday I had lunch with another of my father's cousins, the lovely Tatjana and her irrepressible husband Vlado. I had a very nice lunch, which was made by Vlado. In the picture is Vlado (on my right) and Huso (on my left). Huso is the local gardener and a popular guy.
