15 days of continuous work. Time for a break. Dan suggested that we get a lift up to the beginnning of the trail to the Skakavac Waterfall. It's about 12 km north of Sarajevo. Rasim picked us up at 8 a.m., and we were on the alpine path to the falls by 8:45. Wood cutters were working along the road, and the hike through the woods to the falls was perfect...enough of an elevation to get exercise, but not enough to exhaust.
The falls are about 98 meters tall, and for more than an hour we stared at the falls and talked philosophy, religion, and more philosophy.
It wasn't the right setting to talk central banking!
On the way back we stopped for water at a memorial for some of those from Nahorevo, the village below the falls, who were killed during the war.
Although there is a bus from Nahorevo back to Sarajevo, we decided to walk the 5 miles back, which was definitely worthwhile, as we had a chance to attack linguistics theory and practice our Bosnian on some of the people we passed.
What a perfect day!
