Europe Road Trip

Not for the faint hearted but we went to visit the Museum of Holocaust and Genocide in Mostar. As you might expect it was harrowing and such recent history. I couldn't help but relate it to the time my younger children were small with many of the worst atrocities taking place between 1992 and 1995. The image of the post it notes fill a room with people's thoughts and prayers and anyone is able to write a note. I don't think anyone in the museum spoke aloud to each other the entire time. The museum was full of personal stories and also recorded footage taken at the time. The words inscribed on the stairs spoke volumes they state....'Here the living are silent while the dead speak.' It took Pete and I some time before we could speak to each other...we just walked. I am glad we went as it is important to know but I wouldn't want to repeat the visit. On to more cheerful chat we had a slow and beautiful journey from Mostar to Sarajevo the scenery was amazing with jade green lakes and mountains. It made me think of the Alps in places. We will let people know more about Sarajevo tomorrow as we are tucked up in our air bnb ...which is a 3rd floor apartment with no lift. I am sure our step count will be excellent!Leggi altro
