Walking for Peace Photo-Story 12 (Croatian experience begins)


Although in this photo the visibility is quite good, a constant thick fog accompanied us those first days in Croatia. 

From what we could see, the Croatian coastline was spectacular, but not easy to walk, with rocky mountains rising to our left, and the deep blue waters of the Adriatic Sea accompanying us on the right. 

With the help of the only person we had met who spoke some English, we were able to translate “Walking to Jerusalem for Peace” into Croatian. We couldn’t properly pronounce the words, but hoped our intentions would be understood. 

I was nervous entering a country recovering from civil war, and worried about how we, and our message, would be received. Adding to my tension were Alberto’s latest dreams involving schools of magic and beings from other worlds, which were putting me on edge and, in the thick fog that surrounded us, made everything feel more eerie. Some of his dreams even seemed premonitory, hinting at the possibility of us separating. 

In this new land of unknowns, I hoped that dream would never become a reality.
