Sarajevo!!

Well, I just arrived in Sarajevo about an hour ago. First impression so far is really good!
I have to admit that over the last day of traveling here I was a little worried about what I’d be showing up to, but I don’t there are any problems now at all!

My hotel is about a block up the road from the Old Town Squire in what seems like a really cool part of town. I’ve already wandered around a bit and the city looks pretty awesome. And the Sarajevo Film Festivalis on right now and it’s literally just down the road from me, so from where I am the whole city looks like it’s alive and out... and it’s 11:30 at night!
I’ve found a nice little street side pub and I’m sampling the local bee, which is really good! ...impressed!!

In the taxi on the way over from the airport the driver was really nice and tried practicing his English with me the whole way over. He’s already pointed out a few of the things I want to see, which are all within walking distance of the hotel. According to him I won’t have any problems with the language if I’m talking with younger people, so that’s a big stress relief!

Well, I’m going to finish my drink, wander back to the hotel and wait to see what the city is like in the daytime. I don’t have internet in my room tonight, but I’ll be changing rooms in the morning apparently to a room with a connection. Like the last few posts, this one will be posted tomorrow, so this was actually written yesterday.

I’ll keep y’all posted on my travels as frequently as I can!!

(and just a ps that I’m writing now the next morning... I changed rooms and have internet, but the connection is in the bathroom. Weird. I may have to go out and buy a longer cord so I can actually use my computer in my bedroom, instead of on the toilet :p
