Another Quick Picture Post: Sarajevo, Bosnia

Sarajevo is a very bi-polar city.  As you are walking around, you see many beautiful buildings, such as this one.  It is the Sarajevo Academy of Fine Arts, housed in a former church:

Beautiful, right?  In fact, it is so beautiful that you may have overlooked this bridge in front of it:

Festina Lente bridge.  It is so freaking cool looking.

The bridge is about the length of half of one city block.  Directly on the other side from the Academy is this war torn building:

On the drive from the airport to my hotel, it was so weird to see so much devastation mixed in with brand new fancy buildings.  I wish I had been driving myself so I could have stopped to take pictures of everything.

This is the Latin Bridge, which is maybe a 90 second walk from my hotel.  This bridge takes credit for being the starting point of the first world war.

And once again, polar opposite. This is the luggage conveyor belt, made up as a roulette wheel:

Finally, I leave you with an oddly named restaurant. I wonder if Bono knows this exists?
