Sarajevo in Pictures

Peace Corps anyone?

My packed lunch complete with a note from "mom" a.k.a. Sara

leaving Serbia, entering Bosnia

Park in memoriam of the children who lost their lives during the Balkan conflict

Eternal Flame

Serbian Orthodox Church, and a really neat statue

Art school in Sarajevo

I just like this picture

Sara and me killing time in yet another park

My first mosque

We fit right in...

Me entering the tunnel that connected Sarajevo to free Bosnia

Sara and me in walking through a part of the tunnel

Aron, Sara, and me outside of the Tunnel Museum

A house left in rubble

Some really good cake...I was really anxious to get started apparently

Me on the Latin Bridge...at the corner where Franz Ferdinand was assassinated by a Bosnian teen starting WWI

The 1984 Olympic rings

It was sights like this that really hit you.

So after trudging around the Olympic Stadium, we happened upon a soccer match. "Peace Corps is hard."

Statue in one of many cemeteries

Breakfast courtesy of our hostel director...basically meat/cheese/potato filled pastry

Another one of those "whoa" moments

Entering the bazaar in Old Town...this can only mean one thing: SHOPPING!!!

View from the hill we hiked

Favorite picture ever?  Just might be

Gosh that place was gorgeous

Giving the lungs a rest...
Sarajevo is famous for its metal working, especially copper

Lunch-Cevapi...basically hamburger meat, onions, and a creamy cheese all in a pita....DELICIOUS!

Inside Bosnia's oldest and largest mosque-Husrev Bey's Mosque

Sums up the whole trip.


Out to dinner with two other hostel guests--next to me is another American and next to him is a Greek
