![]() We sat in the hotel's courtyard and she talked about this part of the country, so that when I walked the streets of Zadar and nearby Šibenik, I saw them in part through her eyes. She blogs about the region and, still the punk, conducts her own alternative tour of Zadar in a dress and Doc Martens, uncovering secret gardens and ruins and monuments officialdom might not promote. This gave her the chance not only to spend time in the places she loved but also to convey their virtues to others. In order to overcome her shyness, her mother suggested she study hotel management. As a teenager she was, she says, an introverted punk. In her case it had an appealing combination I've encountered elsewhere in parts of Europe, an alternating current of the acerbic and the passionately enthusiastic. I was reminded of being in Glasgow or Brooklyn, where roasting is a recreational pastime.

At the ferry port she watched her father look apprehensively across the strait at the lunar landscape of Rab, where the land was stripped naked by the ferocious wind known as the bora. A place, she told me, as green as Ireland. On the summer day that Elena Rusnjak introduced her parents to the family of her betrothed, on the island of Rab, they set off early from their hilltop town in Istria, in the northwest part of Croatia near the Slovenian border.
