Mostar, Bosnia & Hercegovina

Unfortunately, we didn't have a whole lot of time in this country.  Ask us about it if you want a rather amusingly tragic story.  This is the view from their old bridge.

They just finished reconstructing the bridge in 2004.  It had been destroyed in the civil war that broke apart communist Yugoslavia.

It was amazing to see such modern buildings that had been destroyed by bombs within our own lifetime.  This one had a sign outside that said "Danger, live mines."

Blown up buildings right next to modern homes were all over.  It was certainly an interesting experience and it gave us really mixed feelings.
