HVAR Day 3: Sarah and I rode bikes to the town of Jelsa and split a pizza. There was a church there with a sign demanding that prospective enterers have appropriate dignity, which struck me as funny.  We saw a trampoline park.  In the afternoon- I put on a mask, divested myself of all other material things, and began my new life, under the sea.  We had dinner at a restaurant in the town of Stari Grad. Sasha knows the chef. We started with a black risotto (risotto with cuttlefish ink). It was fantastic.  We drank Rakija.HVAR Day 3: Sarah and I rode bikes to the town of Jelsa and split a pizza.

the science of nostalgia

i get really psyched on the phenomenon that is nostalgia. i like reading about it, talking about it and making work about it. i find the ways in which scent and sound act as triggers for nostalgia in the brain totally fascinating.  turns out eric’s focus of study as a scientist is the evolution of the brain. i just hit the jackpot in late night bar conversation. the one aspect of nostalgia that i have not explored is it’s evolutionary purpose. so exciting!

from what i understand so far… the brain is able to hold on to a memory longer and able to recall those memories easily using triggers (scent and sound) whena n emotional response is tied to that memory. so if you think about this in terms of survival [gathering food, finding your way home, etc.] it’s easy to see why the brain would need to recall memories using those triggers. RADICAL!

i hope by the end of this trip i will have new directions and ideas for my work and won’t have asked eric too many questions. i’m already having so much fun thinking about how the evolutionary side of nostalgia plages as us a modern society that relies on technology to find the nearest place to get food and directions from anywhere to anywhere. what is it an indicator of now? is it still useful or just a disease?

HVAR DAY 2 Yesterday we went to the villiage of Pitve - in the mountains of Hvar Island. We climbed to the roof of a house that is several hundred years old, and drank wine. We then went to one of two restaurants in the town, where we sat on a cliff overlooking the sea; ate delicious food, and drank homemade brandy (rakija) blended with black cherries and rose petals.HVAR DAY 2 Yesterday we went to the villiage of Pitve - in the mountains of Hvar Island.

Hvar Day 1 We took the 230 ferry from Split to Hvar. We’ll be staying here for 3.5 days. It is an island in the Adriatic. The water is clear down to about 75 feet deep, perfectly still, and so salty that you can literally float without trying to stay above water. As you swim you can see the mountains 50 miles away on the Croatian mainland. Lavendar grows naturally on the island.

We spent the night in rijeka (northern Croatia) after visiting the caves. We got up at 6 Am to try to catch a ferry from Split to Hvar at 1100 - we just missed it, so we walked around Split for a couple hours, checking out the fish and produce markets.
