Sarajevo: Day 19 (2010/01/20)
Dear blog,
I got lost today, and then was found.
The end.
No, its not really the end. That was just the major event that happened today for me: getting lost with Mei, Catey and Hugette in the back streets of Sarajevo.
After spending the entire morning listening to lectures at a hotel and at the University of Sarajevo, a small group of us headed back with the professor. We walked all the way, and its wasn't far from the university at all. Sarajevo has an interesting structure that made it a real hard hit in the war. There are mountains around the area with the city down in the middle, so it was basically shooting fish in a barrel. There are houses on the hill, and that's where our hostel was situated. So after classes we made our way back, but we didn't really hear his directions.
So instead of going up a little and walking completely right, we went up the hill A LOT and went right a little. I never felt my thighs burn so much on this trip as I did today. And Hugette and Mei had heals on, they always do, and the hills were fun to watch them climb. We walked and chatted, using the map that we got from the hostel. Two people helped us find our way, one in an artitechure store, and the other a modern women with her mother on a walk. It was an adventure, just cold and I wanted to take my nap.
After walking for about half an hour or so we finally reached the hostel. Happy day! I went right up to my room, stayed up for about twenty minutes and then took a nap.
