Stari Most

We arrived in Mostar today, after a short two-hour car ride from Dubrovnik. (We couldn't get seats on the bus, even though everyone we asked, including a bus station ticket clerk, told us there was no need to buy tickets in advance.)
It's beautiful here, and sort of reminds me of Lord of the Rings, with all the verdant mountains, cobblestone streets, and stone towers. There's an icy-looking aquamarine river running through town, and it's small enough so that you hear the prayers from the mosque no matter where you happen to have wandered. Most exciting of all, the food doesn't suck. I'm feeling pleasantly full for the first time in a week. Woo!
