Full House

This past weekend our house was overflowing. Suzie and Renee came to visit from Serbia, Lisa came to visit from Sarajevo, and Anhchi came to visit from Croatia. Saturday morning we hiked up one of the hills surrounding Banja Luka. At the top was a memorial from World War II and a cafe, a great combination for the top of mountain (okay, hill). The memorial had really interesting and graphic carvings, the content of which took me by surprise. I feel like memorials in the US leave a little more to the imagination. The carvings depicted graphic scenes of violence, including people hanging. It's definitely a good way to keep people from forgetting.

Anyway, it was fun to hike and get a different view of Banja Luka.
