We realized few visitors to Croatia head east, so it was the first place we wanted to go outside of Zagreb. We rented a car and made the drive to the border and learned quite a bit about the devastating war in the early 90's and how it changed the region drastically. Scary stuff, but we both find it important to understand devastation and see how it can rip apart communities...and how they can somehow stay together.
