There are certain things you have to make peace with, when living on Hvar. Most of them are related to the Dalmatian way of life, which prefers the right moment over some fixed schedule. I believe, this is one of the reasons, why tourist feel very relaxed here, while on their holiday.

I received an interesting call from the president of the Trim Association Ljubica Dijanošić from Vrboska  couple of days ago. Ljubica, together with her daughter Tena are preparing a workshop to take place in Vrboska, Stari Grad and Jelsa next week.
