BOSNIA & the "Jersulasem of Europe"

From SFO to Munich to Vienna to Serajevo - the trip begins . . . in the night:

Its a dark looking riverfront but between the trees and beyond the street's lights was a bustling social zone of Serajevo - even at 11PM on a Thursday night. 

I walked both sides of the river banks to move my legs after 14 hours of flight time and found cafes open, restaraunts still serving food, bars and clubs booming muslim techno vocals, and lots of folks just sitting around on benches and smoking or walking along to whereabouts never known with fits of laughter. Really though, seems like everyone here is drunk with giddyness.

 I like this type of hubbub.

. . . Visoko and the biggest pyramid in the world tomorrow.

May Maiu Madness

Sticks! . . .

. . . that look like bugs that look like sticks.

NOW THE BANANA harvesting PROCESS:

(CHOOSE the plant)

                           

(CHOP the grass down)

((banana is a Herbaceous plant, so its technically the tallest grass in the world))

(COLLECT THEM)

(HANG THEM)

Mango:

Then the rain pummelled the island - and flooded the rivers:

And i tried to drink tea in the windy rain - 

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 

Polo matches in maui (fun Tail gating and humorous hawaiin announcers to tag onto it all)

Earthbaggin' it too (but us workers are not "Dirtbags", so don't call us such...)

Moving on up!



And adding in a shorter doorway:

Almost done:

Stairway to Heaven:

Next task - SUN ROOF!

Finito!

The sunroof that is from an old ship's porthole:

Home on De Grange

Back in Marin friends abounding

The start of a new garden renovation

Almost two months later:

 Mulching the ropes coarse  . . . until they sunk into the ground and abandoned the truck -

T.P. with some far-out symbols from past cultures - 

Looking north-west

Looking NOrth in spring

Who are these "Hosers"

Looking up -

From atop the ridge the view is amazing 

a closer look

HOwdy -

 

Adios you atheists!
