greetings from Zadar., Croatia. day 2.. Diane and I had the whole day just to hang out. We rented bikes and rode about 12 miles in to the center of old Zadar .. It was a great ride.. We even saw a Dalmatian.. .. which is a breed of dog named for this part of the world
After fighting traffic .. boats cars, motorcycles and pedestrians, we found a place to lock our bikes outside the old city walls
the old city was packed wth people. .. no wonder.. it’s popular !
There was race today claled ‘Wings for life’… which was happening all over the world .. We came up to it just at the start of the race.. lots of people, lots of noise 
redbull was a sponsor.. so there was redbull everywhere !]
the city is really georgeous
one of it’s most famous sights.. or.. uh.. sunds.. is a gigantic sea organ that moans harmoniously as the waves slap it.. here are folks sitting on it..
here’s a recording I made of it playing. Can you hear it ?
these holes have soemthign to do with the sound 
as do these
there was another solar scuplutre nearby.. could’t quite figure that out
we spent a few hours more checking out the town
the tower of shame !
we bought a bottle of slivovitz, the local plum brandy.. it fit right in the bikes water bottle carrier !
then back to the hotel for sunset
i have my bg talk tomorrow. Wish me luck !
The topic of the whole conference is on failure !
nite all, nite sam
