August 1


I'm staying in a hotel near the lakes and we're hiking them tomorrow. I'm excited. Today, on our way here, we stopped at a really funny truck stop. It had a strange diner/mini mart with vending type games and attractions as well as a dining hall with huge taxidermic animals arranged in games of poker, singing, dancing, and playing instruments. Outside there was a petting zoo that included peacocks, a baby boar, a bunch of reindeers and goats, and 2 huge brown bears. It was awesome.  We also had a short break for food at Knin. This was a historical significant city because it was a military stronghold for the Serbian population in Croatia during the 1990's. Croats took control and most of the Serbs fled or were kicked out.
