Day in Old City

Today Ana, Mia, and myself went to Old City to walk around and go to lunch. It was a little cloudy, but I took some pictures anyway. First of all, I should preface by telling you Zeljko went to China on a business trip and Ana doesn't drive. Therefore, I have been driving Ana and me around to run errands, etc. SO I drove to Old City and parallel parked in these tiny European streets. If you've ever ridden with me, you'll probably remember that I'd rather park 2 miles away than attempt parallel parking... even in the Mini Cooper. So I was awfully proud of myself and here I offer proof:





Once we got to Old City we walked around the walls and saw something particularly interesting. Keep in mind it was about 50 degrees today, and the water probably isn't much warmer. I think he posed so maybe he's used to the attention. He proceeded to swim back and forth along the dock, and that's what I call dedication.





Of course, there was a lot of other lovely scenery:














I didn't take pictures of my food this time. However, we ate some tradition Bosnian food in a tiny restaurant in Old City. I had "Ćevapi" which is a dish with little sausages served in a flatbread. Oh, and then I had Ferrero Rocher flavored gelato at a little ice cream shop and it was amazing. I kept wondering how it was even possible, but I'm just really happy it is. 


Since it was a Sunday and everything except the churches were closed, the city was fairly empty. I look forward to going back often when I can see it in full swing. Maybe it will be a little sunnier and make for better pictures. There is video camera providing live feed of the Main Street in Old City on the television. So I met one of Ana's friends by waving to the tower while they were on the phone. The Old City channel is honestly very entertaining. Maybe I'll get discovered.
