Globtour Inn Medjugorje

We are getting ready to leave for the boat to cross the sea. Next stop is Assisi and then home. I really like this place, So peaceful and serene. Maybe some day I will be able to return. Met a women and her hhusband from Assisi. Gave us some pointers and places of interest. Told us about some wine that is supposed to be best in Italy. Have to check that out. More later....

Finally ion Medjugorje!!! Beautiful here. Very quant and village like. I love it. Climbing mountain tomorrow. The boat trip was good. Some people got a little sick, but not too bad. Went to Luciane bbefore the boat. This is where the host and wine was turned to blood and flesh. Before you get excited it was documented. Very interesting. Also went to St Michael's cave. Also Father Pio's ...

... The monastery itself is absolutely gorgeous, and it is still in practice. We had to cover our arms, legs, and heads to enter, but then we got to walk around all the beautiful rooms, and see how they actually use nature as part of their spirituality. <br><br>Overall it was an amazing day. We left at 10:30 am and got back close to midnight. Bata's energy never failed, and although we didn't see much of Mostar itself, we left the next day (exhausted) but extremely enriched. <br>

... who told me a lot about Australia and was very interested in Minneapolis. At one point during the trip, I saw a plane flying next to us. Very interesting. I was on the north side of the plane, and could see a whole field of icebergs below us, but my camera didn't focus enough to capture them. We got home at 3:20 p.m. Minneapolis time. I gave the kids their gifts and went to sleep for the next 12 hours.

... The Sorrowful Mysteries wrap around behind the site and lead back to it from the other side. We stopped there on the way back down. And the Glorious Mysteries lead back to the bottom of the hill. We stopped at a store, which tried to charge significantly above the going exchange rate, and left without purchasing, had coffee, and headed back to the St. Francis store to collect my statue. They didn't have a box, so we headed home for dinner, joining ...

... who have visited here is well into the millions. The number I remember is 35,000,000, but I'd have to go double-check that. I was quite happy after more than 24 hours of travel, to crawl into bed and turn out the lights at 8:30. Tomorrow, the 25th, is the day of Mary's monthly apparition. I'm hoping we'll be taken to the Hill for that. We're also scheduled to meet two of the six visionaries.

... search, a carrot strategically placed. I don't know but what all my travels are ultimately about finding home, that place where I belong. On the road itself, however, temporary homes are nice, and suffice. Constant travel itself, losing self in the movie screen of images and sounds, gets old. It's nice to find a place to kick back, buy some groceries, and wash some clothes. It's just a matter of finding the right combination of low ...

... and then I spoke with an American girl named Marleyse who was 8 months into a 1 year trip around the world. This lucky person actually won $20,000 to put towards a trip around the world and all she had to do was write a four page essay concerning what she thought she would experience during her trip. That is $5000 per page! She and 9 other people were selected as winners. Good for her! By late morning I was out sightseeing. I ...

About a 2 and half hour scenic bus ride south of Sarajevo is the town of Mostar. Mostar is the capital of the region of Herzegovina. Like many who visit here I rented a private room in a family house. Nina, the woman whose house I stayed in was kind enough to pick me up at the bus station and drive me around the small city. Mostar is much different than ...

... our motel in the evening air and enjoyed the lights illuminating the old buildings. For dinner, one of the highly recommended restaurants in Mostar is the Konoba Taurus. This place just happened to be less than 15 metres from the door of our room. It's an old stone cottage build right beside the 'crooked bridge'. We entered to find an inviting log fire and lots of laughter. The meals were good, and very big serves. Jess and I ...
