Saturday, May 17 Travel day to Bosnia-Herzegovina

The bus ride from Slovenia to Sarajevo is a long 5 hour ride. There are only 12 Miles of 4 lane road coming to Sarajevo from about 220K away. It is a road much like State Route 10 at home, for over 150 Miles. If there is one word to describe the countryside as we entered this area, it is that of contrast. You cross the border with armed guards, checking passports, they have the power and they know it. Our first views include many bombed out building, bullet holes . . . the war here was only 10 years ago. It not the images they want to be remembered by, but the story is just too much to ignore and to impacting to forget. This will no doubt be one of the most emotionally moving leg of our trip. For the first time on the trip, we will all be staying with host families rather than hotels, a welcome change.
