Local guide, Dennis, shepherded the Explore group through a whirlwind tour of old Dubrovnik, just as crowded today as it was yesterday. A mish-mosh of information.
Seven million stones were used to build the fortifications. There are 650 steps on the wall and it costs 70k per person to walk the City Walls. Croatia is Roman Catholic. Buildings were constructed in the 17th century to quarantine infectious diseases called Lazarettos.
Carry a water bottle and refill from big or small Onofrio's Fountains. Free and potable water. Now, listen to Dennis tell you about Dubrovnik...

Dubrovnik has recovered from the war damage it suffered during the 1990s, and visitors have returned to this tranquil city. Nestled between the Adriatic and the Dinaric Alps, it’s an accessible and affordable city break for many European travelers. The pedestrian-only Old Town is especially charming.

A fascinating land with a hard-fought history in a complex corner of Europe, Croatia is emerging as one of Europe's top destinations. Sampling the very best of Croatia, we start by exploring the fabled Dalmatian Coast from dramatic Dubrovnik to crusty Adriatic island ports.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.
I cannot teach anybody anything, I can only make them think.

SUMMARY
=======
A quarantine is used to separate and restrict the movement of people; it is a restraint upon the activities or communication of persons or the transport of goods designed to prevent the spread of disease or pests, for a certain period of time. This is often used in connection to disease and illness, such as those who may possibly have been exposed to a communicable disease, but do not have a confirmed medical diagnosis. The term is often erroneously used to mean medical isolation, which is to separate ill persons who have a communicable disease from those who are healthy, and refers to patients whose diagnosis has been confirmed.Quarantine may be used interchangeably with cordon sanitaire, and although the terms are related, cordon sanitaire refers to the restriction of movement of people into or out of a defined geographic area, such as a community, in order to prevent an infection from spreading.The word quarantine comes from an Italian variant (seventeenth-century Venetian) of 'quaranta giorni', meaning forty days, the period that all ships were required to be isolated before passengers and crew could go ashore during the Black Death plague epidemic. Quarantine can be applied to humans, but also to animals of various kinds, and both as part of border control as well as within a country.
