the second largest coliseum...

On the second day of our adventure we explored the small city of Pula on the Istria Peninsula, where I took many, many pictures of the world's second largest Roman Coliseum.  Unhappily, I'm not able to share any of those with you this evening.  I attempted to download the 813 pictures I took on this trip onto my laptop.  However it only wanted to download about 25 of them, for some reason couldn't download the rest.  The ones I was able to transfer came from much later in the trip, so no pictures tonight but I will continue to try.  In addition to seeing the coliseum we walked through the lovely old city. All through Croatia I was interested in the variety of architectural styles.  It's easy to see proofs of 15th century Venetian domination and 17th century Austrian rule.  Unhappily, the signs of 21st century independence are usually found in the form of bullet holes in the walls of old buildings from the fighting in 1991.
