The rest of the trip was amazing, with frequent trips to Mostar , seeing relatives, and a side trip to Sarajevo for a couple of days, which was fantastic. Actually, we went there a day after a furious soccer riot, which was set off by some fans of a Polish team chanting "This is Serbia" in the stadium, just to get a reaction. And they got one. Fans of FK Sarajevo turned over several police and civilian cars, the opposing team's bus, and tried to get into the hotel where they were staying. The two days we spent there were peaceful and beautiful.
All in all, it was an extremely successful trip, with the kids bonding with their cousins and my Dad's brother and wife, and my Dad was happier than I'd seen him be in a while. Now it's time to get back to work, and pay this off. But I have no regrets, and would do it again in a second.
