Macedonia

This is the Macedonian Flag. After a night in Istanbul we flew to Skopje and rented this little car to drive to Lake Ohrid for a few days.After a few hours drive through beautiful green farms and mountains we made it to the town of Lake Ohrid... and eventually found our way through the narrow widing streets to our hotel at the bottom of the hill on the lake shore...this is the view from our balcony...Church of St. John at Kaneo ...

Archeological dig at the church of... site of a 4th century basilica.We drove our little car to the top of Mt. .... to look at the view of both lakes from the top...After seeing the Monastery of St. Naum complete with super old church...and peacocks! It was a very relaxing few days and with wonderful food. Featured here is the Macedonian salad and local olives.
