What a great day... I must say with my Slovenian roots and LOVE of Greek salad entry into Macedonian culture has been quite easy... everyone sounds like my relatives, the feta is amazing, and the hospitality unimaginable...  the more I am here the more I see how many Eastern Europeans at first glance appear with a stern look... but the minute you smile at them they melt like a piece of chocolate in the sun... and have the WARMEST heart, loveliest laugh, and genuine smiles...

After a lovely lunch with my personal tour guide/handler Vasko, he took me to all the sites I will be shooting for the wedding...  what an amazing city with amazing history.  This is going to be some wedding!!

There is a very interesting juxtaposition here between Macedonia's ancient history with a very very new government.  I am amazed by how aware the young adults are here and how the government appears to be very much controlled by a younger generation (the Prime Minister is only 37 and many of the members of Parliament are barely 30)...  I must say the people I have run into have been extremely well educated... extremely hospitable... and extremely funny... there is definitely a lot of laughter around.

This is my kind of place...

Here are a few pics from the day...

Until tomorrow my friends!

Love,
A
