A drive through the country... brought to you by revolutionaries!

Last Sunday I was visiting Carla, who is leaving soon, and we decided to make a trip to Krushevo for the day. Krushevo is known for three things: first, it is where the revolution against the occupying Turks started many many years ago. I don't know too much about this revolution, except that it has been memorialized with a large mystery monument. (Is it a land mine? Is it an artificial heart? Is it part of the set from the Superman movie?) Second, Krushevo is know as a really beautiful village in the mountains full of traditional style homes. Perhaps you can imagine that the monument seems out of place. Unfortunately, I didn't get any good pictures of the village as it was a bit over cast. Third, Krushevo is known as the hometown of Toshe, who will only be known probably by fans of EuroVision and every Macedonian teenage girl.

Enjoy the photos!
