The city of Sarajevo, the city of the longest siege in modern history. This might be my favorite place I have traveled through despite the small set backs like bed bugs. I found a new hostel after one miserable night with the bugs and now I am in the nicest and cheapest hostel that I have found in Europe. Sarajevo is different than I thought it would be. The people are all friendly, the people speak English better here than they did in Italy, and the city is remarkably safe. Much safer than all the big western European cities. I came here with the impression that I would have to be guarding my stuff and guarding my life, but no. Despite the bleak building shelled and charred, the Muslim Bosniaks, the catholic Croats and the orthodox Serbs are all very welcoming of foreigners. The point I'm driving at is that everybody should take a tour of Croatia and Bosnia. Hope summers are going good!
