Day 48- Tonight's call to prayer stopped him dead in his tracks on the Stari Most bridge. He listened motionlessly as his two scoops of ice cream dripped down his hand. - Against my better judgment (why do I do this right before bed?!?) I started watching a documentary on the Yugoslav wars to try to better understand the palpable history here. I'm now on my second documentary and umpteenth google search. My head is spinning and my heart aches as I try to understand what happened here. . . . #weehop #yugoslavwars #heartache #why #howdoiexplainthistothekids #mostar #bosniaherzegovina #balkansroadtrip #explorethebalkans #travelblog #travelwithkids #havekidswilltravel #adventureawaits #familytrip #familytravel #roundtheworldtrip #roundtheworld365days #seetheworld #globetrotting #traveldiary #showthemtheworld #ihatewar

Day 43- Planned to write about the three things I'm loving about Albania so far and couldn't get my list below five. 🤗 - 1. The people: so friendly, helpful, hospitable, and very curious about us. 😊 2. Undiscovered: feels like we found a beautifully raw place before the cruise ships did. 👌 3. Laid back: at ease, relaxed, no rush. 💆🏼 4. The water: something therapeutic about this clear, deep turquoise sea. 🌊 5. Maximum piqued curiosity: First country so far that has me salivating to understand it better. 🤔🤤 p.s. kayaked out to what felt like our own little private beach today at Gjiri i Filikurit. 💙 . . . #weehop #gladwecame #sointeresting #ilovetheadriatic #gjiriifilikurit #albania #himare #himara #havekidswilltravel #adventureawaits #familytravel #familytrip #balkansroadtrip #explorethebalkans #roundtheworldtrip #roundtheworld365days #travelblog #damnsinusinfection

Day 40- "Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore." 🛣 - Today we road-tripped from Kotor, Montenegro all the way to Himare, Albania and hoo-boy has the scenery changed. On our 10 hour journey we've seen: maniacal drivers, donkey drawn carts, hitchhikers with bunnies, gas stations and highway death memorials every mile for hours on end, dog road kill, goat shepherds, abandoned buildings, and people littering out their windows. 🙀🙀 - However, the scenery has been stunning, roads better than expected, and people very friendly. So curious to see how the next 6 days transpire. 🕵️‍♀️ . . . #weehop #gettinggritty #helloalbania #himare #albania #balkansroadtrip #cultureshock #letsdothis #havekidswilltravel #adventureawaits #travelblog #familytrip #familytravel #roundtheworldtrip #roundtheworld365days #exploremore #kidswerechampstoday
