On the Bridge. Our guide told us that we would see a lot of hijabs and cover ups but these were primarily tourists and not the local Muslims.

Marriott Hotel. Don't cash in those Marriott points just yet. It's been empty for about 10 years. Bureaucracy and other things have kept it shut down. There is a big Marriott sign on the other side but I didn't get a picture.

This was at the Turkish House museum. This is where the Turkish men would sit and smoke and drink coffee. No women allowed...unless they were bringing coffee. I have brought my wife a cup of coffee every morning for 37 years atoning for the sins fo the Turkish men!

People were enjoying the rides though. I saw a bunch of young woman in complete hijabs, only the eyes visible, riding the boats! Having fun I'm sure.

Looking down on the bank from the bridge. There are a lot of people giving boat rides. I think it was 10 Euros for 20 minutes, but the 20 minutes seemed a little short!

They famous bridge. Actually the Stari Most or Old Bridge, hence the name, Mostar. Bombed and destroyed during the Balkan War. It has been rebuilt using the original plan, I think.

View from the garden in front of our hotel. There are a lot of mosques here. The Ottomans invaded in a narrow strip, a mountain pass, that lead them straight through Bosnia. Many of the people converted to Islam, because if they did, they didn't have to pay taxes. Possibly the first evidence of the Reagan Revolution.

Our guide, Edo, was 8 years old when the Croatian army moved into Stolac. They were given 5 minutes to leave. They had to walk to Mostar with whatever they could carry. Edo's sister was 5 and she thought it was just the most fun ever! Not so much for Edo.

After the visit to the stones and a walk through town we ended up here for lunch. I know this isn't a great picture, but I wanted to give them a shout out.

Another shot. I told Edo if they could somehow turn this into a B&B it would make a fortune. He said when he was a boy they used to go play around here. So jealous.

We saw a lot of this type of design and Edo said the long panels with a circle on the top represent how many children this person had. And when I say person, we are assuming it's a man.

The Riva, this is the promenade where you sit and buy a coffee, pretend to drink it for an hour and watch all of the people go by. It's really a learned skill and we only lasted about a half an hour.

You will see a number of Roman guards around who will happily pose for pictures for a few euros. There happened to be some young men with a soccer ball who were playing with the guards. If you look closely at the guard on the left you can see a soccer ball!

Another section of the basement. If you are of my generation, this is where the kids would have been sent when the adults were playing cards and drinking beer.

This is underneath Diocletians Palace. It was originally used for storage. Once the Romans were vanquished, other people moved into the Palace and used this for a dump. So it contained a lot of archeological information...and apparently a lot of poop.
