Introduction

           Welcome to my blog for Physical Geography 1202! My names Marina Stambaugh, and for my blog I have decided to study and understand the geography of the country Croatia. 

           Croatia lies at the crossroads of Central Europe and the Mediterranean. The country is home to more than one thousand islands on the Adriatic Sea. As well, it has become the host of one of Europe's most beautiful National Parks called the Plitvice Lakes. 
             I chose to focus this semester on Croatia because it has always been a place that I have wanted to visit. The beautiful water, and the mountainous land has always peaked my interest in the country. Not only that, but the country is known to be one of the most interesting medieval cities since it was extremely well preserved. Over the course of the semester I hope to further my interest in the country, and have a better understanding of how the country became so unique.
