Diocletian's palate

After our second camping adventure, it was time to head to our next
major city, Split.

Split has a giant palace as the center of it's old town where the
Roman emperor, Diocletian, built his retirement palace. Several Roman
rulers retreated to this marble road palace when things got hot and
heavy. Finally, the nearby inhabitants took over the palace for their
own protection in the 7th century. It is said that their decendents
still live here, where they now drink coffee amongst the ruins (check
out the cafe over Jessica's left shoulder).

We found the town to be full of culinary inspiration. Jessica and I
were inspired by the town market and a nearby restaurant to try our
hand at a Greek salad. The restaraunt added balsamic vinager to create
a delight that we wanted to imitate. The market provided us with a $2
brick of feta... Enough said.

We also took notice of a separate restaurant that soaked both
Jessica's chicken, my grilled tuna, and all accompanying vegetables in
a couple cups of butter for a meal fit for an emporer!
