Rovinj is a step back in time. Its too hot to walk a lot, so we took a glass bottom boat ride on the Adriatic.
The first photo is the "street" in front of our apartment. The second is the old town from the top of St. Euphemia church. We climbed the bell tower -- the third one this trip. This one seemed a bit precarious with wooden slats for steps.
Euphemia was a fourth century person from a wealthy family who gave the family wealth to the poor. She was a victim of Roman emperor Diocletian and tortured for not worshipping the local god. Thrown to the lions, they refused to eat her. Now she is a saint.
