... we go to a drug rehab center and to Mother village which is an orphanage. There are alot of dogs and cats here as well. You know me and dogs, I have them following me everywhere. It There is truely a sense of peace and serenity here. Everyone is very friendly and acknowledges you with a friendly Hello. Yesterday I was greeted with Bon Jour most of the time. More tomorrow....

... but from what I have heard they normally collect around 60 Euro before they jump but it really is a long way down and can be pretty dangerous. After strolling around Mostar I headed back to the hostel to greet our guide who is the brother of the hostel owner Majadas and who is totally crazy with a big personality and very funny. From the start he was shouting all the time and banging a drum and honking his horn and telling jokes to get everyone in the mood it was pretty funny ...

... 1/2 hour ride to Dubrovnik. Our flights were Dubrovnik to Zagreb, Zagreb to Amsterdam, and then the long trek home from Amsterdam to Minneapolis. Those who joined the group as pairs or pairs were seated together. I was the only one who joined all by myself, so I ended up sitting alone on all the flights. However, I enjoyed the time to read, and on the long flight home, sat next to a very interesting ...

... it look tame.) Now he was climbing Apparition Hill a second time, and felt fine all the way. I will add that though my 'miracle' is not quite so dramatic, I have also climbed 3 mountains in addition to making constant walks of one to three miles, and I am not even a little bit sore. When I climbed just one mountain in Scotland, I was in pain for three days. So this is very unusual. The Joyful Mysteries lead to the site where Mary appeared to the ...

... the events at Medjugorje. I knew a fair amount, but what I wasn't aware of was that by only the third or fourth day after the very first vision of Mary in 1981, there was already a crowd of 15,000. In and of itself, that seems miraculous, for a small village in what was then communist-controlled Yugoslavia, to attract that much notice that quickly. As of today, the number of ...

... their stranglehold on the rest of the country inflictintg a huge and formal beating on Dubrovnik. Next there was the more insidious but just as devastating seige of Sarajevo by Serb supported paramilitary groups. And in Herzegovia there was the even more convoluted division and destruction of Mostar whose after affects are still dramatic and impossible not to notice. Even driving into the city with our sassy and wry host Madja, you could not help but ...

... Canadians. As soon as we entered B&H territory, it felt different from Croatia. Croatia screams at you with colors from the sea, sky and landscape while B&H presented us with a depressing feeling due to the old and poorly maintained buildings we drove by. We actually passed by a few buildings that were destroyed during the war. You could tell some of the homes were rebuilt. It made me wonder if the reason some of the homes were not rebuilt was because ...

... valuuttana, euroina kuin kuninakin. Laske siina sitten tuliko sita rahaa tarpeeksi. Tiistaina lahdettiin sitten Batan kanssa pienella joukolla kiertelemaan Mostarin ymparistoa. Annoin edellisiltana ymparipuhua itseni mukaan tourille, mutta kannattihan sinne lahtea. Bata on aavistuksen verran levoton jatka, hauskaa tarinaa tulee jatkuvalla syotolla. Kaveri on asunut sodan takia Ruotsissa 15 vuotta, joten lansinaapurin kielta on joutunut ...

Mostar, in Bosnia-Herzegovina, has a big bridge, and it's kind of a big deal. On receiving my "Western Balkans" guide last February, I had looked at the cover and gone, what is that? It was Mostar's bridge, important enough that in a six country guide, it made the cover. The bridge was constructed over nine years, being completed in 1566. It stood for 427 years and people came from all corners of the world to see its beauty. However, on November 9, 1993, the Croats of the ...

... can't judge fairly. The locals take full advantage of the fact that there are streams of tourists all year long, so the streets are lined with nearly identical shops full of mostly every color and material possible of rosaries. The St. James Church has mass almost continually throughout the day with rotating languages. Mostar We met with English language major students attending a university called Dzemal Bijedic and organized ourselves into small ...
