I walk this lovely cobblestone street everyday to work. Its lovely - but very difficult to walk on -- even in sensible shoes. Every morning street vendors are busy and the market is alive as farmers set out their produce. Older folks are out - catching up on the business of everyone, and this vitality reminds me how privileged I am to have such a walk every day. The morning is the best time for Mostar. The night belongs to the youth and coffee bars.
Peaking through the damage from 10 years ago. Spanish square is a large open area pretty much in the centre of the city. While most areas of the city are rebuilding slowly, the Square is still a reminder of what can go horribly wrong. On a sunny day though, it becomes a surreal artform.
We sometimes get a little nutty in the office. I still cant believe that you can take pictures with your mobile phone. Andrew is checking his TB shot - and so is everyone else.
Maybe the winter was a tad too long....
The grip of winter was broken by a few parties .... here the staff, volunteers and Board members 'let their hair' down - those that have some - and socialize away from the office routine...
Maya and Daniel are still discovering new ways to use the mobile...
It is good there is no sound. Country and Western music doesnt fit in the Balkans...but it was fun anyway. Watch for the next post for March!.. more parties.
