Croatia - Did You Know? Fun Fact #2

  I previously did a fun fact on Croatia but wanted to add a second one just because Croatia is on my top 10 list of places to visit. 

  Did You Know that the Best Preserved Roman Palace in the World is in Split, Croatia?

It is the Palace of Diocletian and was build in A.D. 295.  The Roman Emperor, Diocletian, had this palace built in preparation for his retirement and because he was originally from Dalmatia. 

This is from Joseph Rosendo's Travelscope "Cruising the Mediterranean".

Croatia - Did You Know?

  Did You Know that it's believed that the Zinfandel wine grape originated in Croatia?

I learned this tonight on Joseph Rosendo's Travelscope:  "Cruising the Mediterranean".

Pandas - Did You Know?

  I wouldn't call myself a huge TV person but I do have to share that I absolutely love the Nat Geo WILD channel.  Animal Planet and HGTV are tied for my second favorite TV channels.  The main reason I love HGTV is because they have House Hunters International.  Even though I've read online that this show is somewhat fake, I still enjoy seeing the different cities and what types of housing there is outside the U.S.
  Sometimes while watching Nat Geo WILD, I learn these really fun facts which I like sharing.  I've decided to once in a while do posts called my "Did You Know?" posts.  Then you have to tell me whether or not you knew these fun and interesting facts.

Today I have 2 facts on Pandas:

Did You Know that Pandas are rented from China (usually by zoos) for $1 million a year per Panda?

Did You Know that Pandas are only fertile for 36 hours a year?

Both of these facts I learned from "Miracles Babies" on Nat Geo WILD.
