Dinner and a Game!

Hello All!

Yesterday evening was so lovely. We went out to dinner at a restaurant called Park Princeva that sits on top of a hill high above Sarajevo and overlooks the ENTIRE CITY!!! It was really rather impressive. In addition. Before we received our meal the sun fell and just as the sun fell ALL of the towers on ALL of the mosques lit up all over the city and chants rang out everywhere as the call to prayer began. It was pretty cool. The city is huge when you see it from above and is rather impressive at night. We also met a Bosnian fellow who lives in New Hampshire and chatted with him and he bought us drinks.

After the filling dinner we went to meet up with Dino's cousin (who looks just like Dino just taller and more hair) and sat at a cafe, then went to another cafe that is in the middle of the street outdoors with televisions everywhere playing only one thing... Can you guess? The futbol match of course! After that ended Dino and I had to walk up this huge hill to get home, we were so sleepy but made it barely. :)

This morning we woke up early and went out to the city to meet up with my aunt from my moms side of the family. Steph and I were pretty hungry and decided to go eat some pita. I ordered way too much! All of the locals and tourists were giving us looks like we were crazy with the huge pile of pita that was in front of us...awkwarddd. We managed to finish one plate and took the other one home so we could eat it for breakfast the next day.

I also took Steph to our pijaca ( Bosnian version of a swap meat). Steph was pretty exited and started to shop as soon as we came. You can see Steph in the middle of the street looking happy as she shopped. I also had to take Steph to the location of the Olympics that took place in '84. One of the photos has the tower that had the Olympic flame during the games. Exciting stuff. We are off to do some more adventurous activities!

Love
Steph & Dino

Enjoy the pretty pictures.
