Zagreb was a bit empty because of the four day weekend. We got here just in time to watch Croatia lose the place in the second round of the World Cup to Australia. There are six or seven Croatian players on Australia team so people here did not take it too bad.

To escape the concrete jungle we run off to Maksimir Park and checked out the Zoo. The Zoo is holding its own in this day of safari and grow-our-own-eucalyptus-trees Zoo trends. As always, Zagreb Zoo ain’t too shabby.

Yesterday we checked out the gay pride parade. Hopefully in five to ten years there will be more gays than cops, but you’ve always got to start from somewhere.
