war ruins
in many places in the Balkans war damage is getting hard to find… not true in eastern Bosnia

Srebrenica visit
in addition to a good meeting with some women who lead a agriculture co-op, I accomplished several other goals, one was this pic…
a lone cross among thousands of Muslim graves
This is the grave of a catholic who was killed in the massacre, he was buried in 2010 (I think… Laci can you verify in comments?).
Here is what I saw/heard out my hotel window when I check in this afternoon…
All I hear now is Balkan music with a disco beat from some nearby building… ahhhhh traveling…
BUT the early morning ride through the slow covered Bosnian mountains was amazing (that is ice on the INSIDE of the bus window – just in case you were wondering)…
Here’s a view I grabbed as we drove to the town from our meeting…

Today, in the Bosnian capital, I received training on how to prepare and properly drink Bosnian coffee… from the proper boiling to measuring, serving and drinking…
careful measuring of the hand ground coffee is essential
at the completion of my course I received a diploma which will be framed and displayed in my study in the ‘ville…
