Welcome to Bosnia (again)!
As my post below explains, I took a much-needed relaxing vacation to Bosnia this summer. Here are some things I found striking in their cultural richness and unexpected variety, through the lens of an American artist on vacation.
 |
| A 500-year-old mosque |
 |
| I love the details on these buildings |
 |
| Reminder of the war- have you seen a shell-blast before? These buildings were everywhere, but quickly being re-developed. |
 |
| A shiny, state-of-the-art mall in Sarajevo |
 |
| Those stone walls are the original, centuries-old mall |
 |
| Graffiti is huge |
 |
| My boyfriend's great-grandmother! |
 |
| His great-grandfather was a kind of aristocrat and here is his adjutant |
 |
| Gorgeous mountain scenery everywhere |
 |
| Village life- my boyfriend's cousin's second home |
 |
| He bought this "village house" for $25,000! |
 |
| I was totally obsessed with these gnome hut-like haystacks everywhere |
 |
| A village |
 |
| Back in Sarajevo- some art nouveau |
 |
| We found this great art cafe called the Goldfish |
 |
| It's bohemian insides |
 |
| Where else can you get 40 homemade cookies for $10? |
 |
| A fair came to town- here is my boyfriend's cousin and his baby Mirza, who at age one had a better Bosnian vocabulary. |
 |
| There was really dramatic weather a lot of the time. Here the heavens are opening up. |
 |
| In our Sarajevo apartment, remnants of a grenade blast |
 |
| I said goodbye to my sweet boyfriend. |
 |
| When I came home I gave my dad a fez. |
