The Ohrid Wine and Cheese Festival
Ohrid, Macedonia
July 30 and 31, 2005
A happy weekend on Lake Ohrid in the Balkans, only a 30-minute drive from the Albanian border and a short 3-hour drive from Kosovo.

(more)
Nothing about prisoner abuse and torture.
Only a boy fishing on the promenade by the lake.
------
Nothing about a spiraling death toll in Iraq.
Just a chance to sample great wine.
------
Nothing about genocide in Darfur.
Just a chance to taste some really good cheese.
------
Nothing about demonizing gays.
But maybe some motorized parasailing in a bright, blue sky.
------
No sign of a world leader shaking his fist at the rest of the world.
Celebrating instead the traditions of Macedonian folk dance.
------
Definitely a good use of our time on this earth.
Wouldn't you agree?

I've been there, in some of the areas included in your pictures. It's truly a beautiful place. Brings back nice memories.
