We hoist our sails once again and head to the town of Trogir. It is a town that covers an island right off the mainland. The mainland and island are connected by a couple of small bridges. Mostly what is going on in this stone town are the semifinal soccer games broadcasted at every bar on plasma screens. Tonight Greece is stacked against Germany. Greece so badly wants to show they have something over Germany. But alas, not only does Germany dominate Greece financially, they also dominate them in the world game of soccer. We stroll down the wide promenade that is packed with souvenir shops and restaurants looking for hungry tourists. It is not hard to figure out what makes this once forgotten town thrive economically once again. Guidebooks point the way to the new economic revival. There are just enough stone watchtowers, grand historical churches and Venetian clock towers to lure a new crop of tourists in each day.
