Day 10: Sarajevo - the lookout

It was hot (probably low to mid 90s) and yet I was determined to make it to the lookout point described in my guide book. I left Pigeon Square heading up through a residential neighbor and the graveyard beyond. Huffing and puffing a bit, I climbed a last flight of stairs onto a grassy plateau. I was greeted by the most wonderful and welcome breeze along with fantastic views of Sarajevo. It was only me and a couple at the lookout.  As I got closer to them, the voyeur in me took over and I wondered if they were lovers or simply colleagues on a break for lunch. Of course, I'll never know, but the romantic in me decided they were the happiest of couples enjoying a magical afternoon together.
