For ten days in November, Anne and I traveled to Sarajevo, spending Thanksgiving with Matt and Shannon. Their apartment is on what was once the front line of the siege of Sarajevo. Although the fighting is a few years in the past, the city is still full of scenes of the destruction it endured.
This building is directly across the street from them. As can be seen at the top of this post, chess-playing gangs rampage the city and continue their reign of terror.
We had a wonderful time. The people were nice, the food was wonderful, and the visuals alternately beautiful and jarring in a city that hosted both the Winter Olympics and a drawn-out and destructive modern war. I’ll write more about the trip later; just wanted to get a couple of the photos up.
