Macedonia


We stayed with a lovely family in Bitola for several days.  During our time there we visited the ruins on the outskirts of the town.  The ruins were small and not well preserved, except the magnificent mosaic floors. 



We took a day to drive over to Ohrid, which is a wonderful little town on Lake Ohrid. The town has Ottoman style architecture, ruins, and winding streets.






Javier was so happy to see these little cars everywhere.  They were either the same model or looked just like the cars that were so common in Spain during his childhood.



During our last days in Macedonia, we stayed with an American serving in the Peace Corps in Prilep.
