There is still stuff there that we want to see but we want to do it in better weather.<br /><br />Lol, yep isn't life funny! When you have the conveniences of life at your fingertips you get used to it so when they aren't there even for a short time, it is difficult to live without them. We can't even begin to imagine what she must have lived through back then!

We think this cop knew right away that we were totally aware of the speed and we dealt with him in a nice friendly manner as he did with us.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-15378084839467524922021-11-04T03:01:44.611-04:002021-11-04T03:01:44.611-04:00Yes, it does sound like there is a bit of unrest h...Yes, it does sound like there is a bit of unrest happening but hopefully it will all be talked out, I don't think anyone there wants another war!Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-17827598256673477032021-11-04T02:49:38.011-04:002021-11-04T02:49:38.011-04:00As I said in my comment above we found it to be an...As I said in my comment above we found it to be anything but ominous. We really love these kinds of drives. It wasn't raining hard enough to think about there being rock slides but that did cross my mind,<br /><br />It is possible that that is what they may have been trying to do but not once did he mention anything about a fine or money. We think that they were bored and wanted something to do and if they felt they might get money out of us then maybe they would have tried but I think he knew right away that we knew what the speed limit was and that we were very firm about the fact that we were going the correct speed.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-43774261778946411142021-11-04T02:44:29.376-04:002021-11-04T02:44:29.376-04:00Lol, we didn't find any of it spooky.

Although the road was twisty and winding we found the drive overall to be very relaxing, even with having been pulled over. The police guy was very nice to us and we were nice and friendly back to him, thankfully it all worked out well. :-)Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-27213762776724302472021-11-03T20:11:42.191-04:002021-11-03T20:11:42.191-04:00We like this part of the trip, it looks like our k...We like this part of the trip, it looks like our kind of places.living.boondockingmexicohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17157433834193440923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-43170230252820923242021-11-03T19:26:27.967-04:002021-11-03T19:26:27.967-04:00Never had any huge desire to go to Bosnia.

T.C. had to go to Serbia for business, but that's somewhat different, as they tend to "look after you". <br />I meant to tell a little story about one of our former neighbours who came to Canada from Sarajevo some 25+ years ago. We had a two hour power outage (this is a few years ago) and at one point we were out chatting on the street, asd the lady said, "You know, we lived in Sarajevo for TWO YEARS without power, and were able to manage. Here, we lose power for two hours, and I'm almost beside myself...." Funny what we get used to. Safe travels.
