TO PETER SOMMER TR AVELS Writing this in autumn 2020, it is hard to know quite where to begin. I usually review the season just gone, the new tours that we ran, the preparatory recces we made, the new tours we are unveiling for the next year, the feedback we have received and our exciting plans for the future. However, as you well know, this year has been unlike any other in our collective memory. Our exciting plans for 2020 were thrown into disarray, just like many of yours. We were so disappointed that so many of you were unable to travel with us in 2020. Our greatest pleasure is to share the destinations we have grown to love so deeply with you our wonderful guests. I had the pleasure and privilege of speaking with many of you personally during the 2020 season. I was warmed and touched by your support, your understanding, your patience, and your generosity. All of us here at PST are extremely grateful and heartened by your enthusiasm and eagerness to travel with us when it becomes possible. PST is a small, flexible, and dynamic company. We have weathered countless downturns during the many years we have been operating. Elin, my wife, and I have always reinvested in the business with long term goals and are very used to surviving all manner of curve balls, although COVID-19 is certainly the biggest we have yet faced.

The perfect place to taste these pungent fungi is Giancarlo’s restaurant, Zigante, in the sleepy hamlet of Livade, which uses truffles in every dish. “Truffles are very rare and specific mushrooms,” explains Zigante’s chef, Damir Modrušan. “They combine best with dishes based on pasta, potatoes or eggs.” Order the tagliatelle with truffles, accompanied by a glass of local Teran wine, or try the degustation menu.

Hahn, Dubrovnik, 2004 Curriculum Guide Contributors: Jeanette A. Hahn, School of Law, University of Pittsburgh (primary researcher and author) Gina Peirce, Center for Russian and East European Studies, University of Pittsburgh (editor) ii Introduction Croatia: A Curriculum Guide for Secondary School Teachers was created to provide information on the historical and contemporary development of the Croatian nation, and in so doing, to assist teachers in meeting some of the criteria indicated in the Pennsylvania Department of Education‘s Academic Standard Guidelines (http://www.portal.state.pa.us/portal/server.pt/community/state_board_of_education/8830 /state_academic_standards/529102). To fulfill the fundamental themes for many of the disciplines prescribed by the state guidelines, this curriculum guide provides the following information: A description of the unique traits of Croatian culture. A description of the effects of political, economic and cultural changes and how these changes shaped the present Croatia. Identification and explanation of the contributions of key historical individuals and groups in politics, science, the arts, and religion in Croatia. Examination of the changing economic and political system of Croatia, and how these changes have affected Croatian society. These and other areas of Croatian society and culture are explored in an attempt to assist the secondary school teacher in fulfilling the Academic Standard Guidelines. As the unique transitions in Croatia provide a laboratory for studying political, economic and cultural change, this guide may be additionally useful as a means for comparison with our own country‘s development.
