Zadar & The Return of Green Man

I started off the morning with a 5 mile run along the waterfront & through the old town.  I noticed that they were setting up for a road race, it looked pretty big as there was a large packet pickup area.

After finishing up my run & getting some breakfast, I headed back to old town on a nice 25 minute walk along the waterfront.  I did the obligatory tower climb & got some pictures of the city.  

Then I took a walk along the seafront.  I noticed someone heading toward me that looked familiar.  He had green glasses, green shoes, & green pants.  It was the "green man" from the airport in Sarajevo, unfortunately my camera was in my bag so I didn't get a picture of him.  Crazy that I see the same guy in another town 250 miles away from Sarajevo.  Hopefully he is not following me around Europe.

I walked around town some more & had a quick lunch before heading back to the apartment.

I went back to the old town to watch the sunset, it is supposed to be one of the best ones in the world.  Unfortunately it was cloudy & the sunset wasn't so great, but I did manage to get a few shots of the town just after sunset.

Overall I liked Zadar, but did a lot walking since I stayed 2 miles from downtown.  

Tomorrow is going to be one of the highlights of my trip.  I am going to Plivitice Lakes National Park, there is an express bus that takes 1 hour 45 minutes to reach the park from Zadar.
