Missing Home
My sister sent me some pictures of Lil B's trip to Hartman Reserve, which is a nice place to be outside, among the leaves, trees and cardinals. I remember going there a lot when I was a kid. Looking at all those sixth-graders, and my niece, made me miss home. It's been fun living abroad, and especially fun living with Wiley, and home is where you are, blah blah blah, but it's not home. People don't wear sweatshirts here. We don't have clean air here, or fluoridated water. We don't have ice storms and idiot drivers of the same caliber here. It's the little things you notice and miss the most.

Hey, many Sarajevans feel nostalgia too, but a little different one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yugo-nostalgia ;)
Did you know that famous little Tito cafe is near your "home", just behind the bridge, and I suggest you to visit sometime...
Regards :)

That's very true, and easy to forget that you can't go back to the point you were at before. And what a beautiful skyline! It's been a long time since I've been up in any hills, like up by Park Princeva. Must get there soon.
I had no idea about the cafe - where is it? I can think of four cafes very near to us. Thanks for the tip!!
Hello again! I have just marked the way on your photo :)
