Hikes, Lattes, Museums

My last night in Sarajevo, I met two sweet Portuguese girls that are studying in Novi Sad, Belgrade. We had some dinner and went out for drinks at some cheesy places because we couldn’t find anything cool. The next day we all explored the city together. We took a short hike up one of the cities many hills, admired the town from some high altitude, and then trekked back down around the 12 o’clock call-to-prayer. When your body is at a level that is above most of the mosques loud-speakers, you could hear all of them at once, overlapping. The sounds made everything seem somewhat surreal at that particular moment.

Back in the center, we had some drinks at a nice cafe that is part of some hotel there. There totally was a guy playing piano. Then we went to National Museum. We wanted to visit the history museum for the “Sarajevo Under Siege” exhibit but it was closed early since it was Sunday. Sucks. The National Museum was nice though, they have like 4 buildings. We rushed through two of them in 20 minutes. Good collection of like butterflies, rocks, and old carved things.

    I like the picture of the skate “park”. If you get a chance to go to Paris, there’s a really nice natural history museum.
