We've now traveled through a good chunk of the Baltic region that used to comprise Yugoslavia. And no other region suffered more bloodshed in the breakup of Yugoslavia than Bosnia. And as a former news person, I certainly have seen plenty of war-torn images of Bosnia. Croatia has the majority of the Adriatic coastline but on our bus ride from Split to Dubrovnik we traveled through the little bit of coastline Bosnia has claimed. Suffice it to say, the Bosnia we saw was nothing like the Bosnia I've seen on video clips in the newsroom. The scenery was stunning and the towns were picturesque and serene. I can only hope the rest of Bosnia is working towards becoming the Bosnia we traveled through.

I must say, that had mom not convinced me otherwise, I would have said you two were standing on a lot at a movie studio in LA with a fake backdrop behind you. It looks that unreal!
