sarajevo, bosnia-herzegovina. 

(sarajevo, 2011)

(sarajevo, 2011)

the cities, the parks, the mountains, the rivers&#8230;.all of that makes bosnia beautiful. but what i enjoyed most were the people.  i enjoyed riding the tram (despite the sweltering heat and sheer number of people on it) because it felt like i got a snapshot of bosnia (and sarajevo, to be exact).  and people&#8217;s faces tell stories no matter where you are. some are serious, others happy, silly&#8230; still others looked mournful, sad and melancholy.  i felt that even though sarajevo is rebuilding and appears to be &#8220;fine&#8221; (it IS a beautiful city, so rich in history), it&#8217;s people told a slightly different story.  you can patch mortar holes, paint over graffiti and rebuild things, but you can&#8217;t remove the hurt and pain that has scarred people from centuries of war and conflict.
