How did you like Bosnia? My family originates there, although most now live in either Croatia or Slovenia.

I just recently spent 5 weeks in Croatia and Bosnia visiting family, and Bosnia was really great and impressed me more than I thought it would. The people are very nice, although there is still a sadness that hangs over the country. I didn't feel the hatred or anger that I was expecting, but just sadness. I spent most of my time there in either Muslim or Croat areas and found both to be the most generous and hospitable people I ever met. Besides Mostar and Medugorje though, I was in some pretty remote areas.... areas that even some people living only a few kilometers away didn't even know how to get to.

Eh, sorry. I don't want to steal your thunder.
