Blagaj!

we had an awesome day today, me n christine (my roomate) we went to blagaj and heres the high lites:
took a bus and got off in blagaj (not really a high light but a fact)
went to a turkish house and toured around but had to have the muslim ladies wrap head scarves around our heads so we would be like..kosher or whatev. theen we drank from the river there behind the house, which is the source of the river. seriously best water i have ever tasted and it didnt make me sick ! then we hiked up this mountain (after this kiosk guy said we probably couldnt make it because we didnt look ¨conditioned˝ and got to this Illrian fortress on the mountain there. cool times. could hear the call to prayer there too. then we walked back down.
THEN christine spots a girl in a latvija shirt! so naturally i had to like follow her and the guy she was with to hear if they were speakin latvian..they SO were! and i was pumped and so we talked for like a while and they took pics. it was a couple our age and then the guys uncle who was sorta a chaperon on their 8 day trek through the balkans!
-THEN i realized that i lost christine and went down to the kiosk where we were going to tell that guy that we totally made it up to the mountain fortress. and she was there eating an icecream cone and like swingin her feet and stuff and then the kiosk guy who like was a coppersmith too made us bracelets with our names on them! and then we ate some amazing trout and the kiosk man came with us to show us exactly how bosnian men eat fish. basically it was like the proper way to debone a fish. it was a good tasty trouty time and we had some more river water! then we realiyed that our bus didnt leave until 7 soo us n kiosk man who's name was hussein went to this cool spot down by the river and played cards and drank this amazing soda called cockta! tasty stuff. i shall bring some back. oh and then hussein sees this guy from across the river, yells at him and says to us ˝he owes me a cell phones from 2 years ago˝and we're like uhh k? so the guy comes over and i expect this like big beefy mafia lookin guy...no. its like a 13 year old. but he had husseins (totally pilfered) cell phone. so everyone was happy. it was an interesting time. and i sorta got sunburned. but all in all it was awesome and i returned home to some amazing grilled chicken that the boys in our hotel made for us. delish!
