We walked around for a little bit and got some quiche for breakfast (Chris' first quiche ever) and then hopped on a walking tour. The tourist office told us just to look for someone with a name tag so after staring at everyone's necks we finally found the right person. On the tour there were 5 of us; Chris and I, and three brits with one living in Croatia. The tour started off with a history of Croatia - slightly depressing. We learned that there is a big unemployment issue ever since they separated from Yugoslavia. I highly recommend these walking tours, I am not sure Chris would.
We learned that Croatia is 90 percent Catholic. We went to the Cathedral of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. They are currently are redoing the spires so they have a picture of the spires over them.
Behind the altar is the tomb of Blessed Aloysius Stepinac. During World War II he helped Jewish people escape persecution.
