My brother is playing with Hey Rube tonight at Landet, Telefonplan, check it out! Say hi from me!
I was walking up the hill just west of central Sarajevo when I saw this old lady fighting the hill with two big bags of water. I gave her a hand and she talked to me in about six languages, including a few words in Swedish. She had some relatives in Sweden, named Mattias and Mats that is about all i could gather. She had the air of a well educated but seemingly she lived quite poorly. As we climbed the hill she talked to the locals kids who were playing football and pinched one or two in the cheek to check for age (?). After helping her up the hill, you can see a man in the background of the photo of her, i was invited for a tea.
The man did not speak a single word of any language I know and out conversation again was more a matter of pointing and smiling, which he was good at! It really made my day, filled with this spirit I kept looking around town a while before heading home with a smiling face.
I plan to go south, Mostar, to the coast and down to Montenegro and then on to Albania and northern Greece over to Turkey. This seems like the best route at the moment, I hope for a bit of sun!
