Kosovo: out and about in Pristina

with our new friends from the American Corner

here are a few of the souvenirs we brought back from Kosovo - the woman in traditional clothes, the replica of a terracotta goddess from 4000 BC that was found near Pristina (now in Museum of Kosovo), a bill from the former Yugoslavia,and a piece of the mineral trepca

Burek!!  We loved this place so much we ate there for lunch - and came back for dinner

I was glad I snapped the pics of the Kosovo Independence Day celebrations when I did - when we walked this way again, they had been removed

the National Assembly of Kosovo

we meandered through the old Bazaar

Yankees ball caps for sale in the bazaar

did someone say ice cream?!

ice cream is always in season

we enjoyed our macchiatto and ice cream outside (!) - was more fun to people watch - and - as it turned out - we were watching the decorations from the Independence Day (February 17) being taken down as well

we bought this tablecloth and some lovely crocheted doilies from this lady

and a macchiatto To Go before my presentation at the American Corner

our hotel - we woke up to snow flurries on Saturday morning - but - no accumulation - and we had a nice day to explore Kosovo

we had some extra time in the morning before the Ethnologic Museum opened - so we drove through this park in Pristina (tennis courts, swimming pools - looks like it's a lot of fun in the summer months)

this previously was a building occupied by Serbian Special Forces - but was bombed by NATO
