Yesterday I fulfilled a major life goal: I rode a motorized scooter!! It was way more exhilarating that I thought it would be, and also much scarier. Going fast seems way faster when there's no car door protecting you from the pavement below. But it was also such a movie-perfect moment that I had to keep reminding myself that I WAS actually speeding through the olive tree-lined hills of the Croatian island Hvar, watching the perfectly clear blue water smash against the white stones on the shore below. GAHH!
