Thursday Doors 1/2/24: Draguć, Croatia 1.

Let’s continue with the doors from last Easter when we day-tripped to Croatia. This town once played Florence on film, if you believe it.

At least this is what my father told us after carefully planning this day with online help. But after Hum, the smallest town in the world from my previous two posts, first we had to eat something and father came up with Agrotourism Stara štala (“Old Barn”).

We had to wait for the motorcycle gang to depart and they seemed to have eaten most of the menu because all we got was some (good) pasta. But the view was brilliant (even though rain made us run indoors to eat) and the company special.

Then we drove some more and reached Draguć of which I had never heard before. How it was able to play Florence is not particularly clear. But there were doors and colours and nobody else but us and it was good this way. The second part of the town’s doors will come next week.

But before we have our stroll, how about Luka’s 73 points in a single game? (Here is a video with all of them.) You may have heard of it but unless you saw the game, you don’t know. This was the most effortless scoring imaginable. And then they tried to diss even that. If the fans are fed up, imagine how he must be feeling. The message he was giving was: “I don’t like how I’m being treated, by the refs, the media, the association. It’s disrespect. Unless you fix it, I’m going to score just like this every game, but also way way better. Just because I can. Watch.” I’m sorry for everybody who is prevented from cheering for Luka for any of the number of dumb reasons. The history will eat you alive.

  No doors but I like the shapes.

  33 is zen.

  A reflection for the end.
