Plantar Fasciitis Condition_symptoms

Pristina hello!


Today I was able to turn around for good. Without chasing bus to take, places or people to interview by vistitare. Today I was able to quietly observe the three minarets in a row in your old neighborhood and infect me from the quiet 'of your elderly who savor the sunshine on the veranda of the mosque, or chat by the fountain of marble and the' next. I could see the kebabbaro (quebabtore!) chevapi cook the sausages and smoking, before your typical season with pepper and tomatoes. With the camera I finally collected the signs more 'fun you have checked on him in recent years: bar "Boss" restaurant "Boston" hair salon "Love" and many many more, even the best that I can not remember. I shot again between the bars and cafes' fashion, that make you look like a chic Milan e snob, mille miglia lontana dalle campagne poverissime che invece ti circondano. Sono anche ripassata, naturamente, dal quartire Un, Osce, Eulex (e chi piu' ne ha piu' ne metta..), situato tutto intorno alla Police street. Ho sbuffato ancora una volta alla vista di tante tante tante fuoristrada e suv di lusso e ho pensato di nuovo a tutti i contrasti, i traffici e le ingiustizie che rappresenti oggi.
Ma, risalendo la collina verso la guesthouse, sono rimasta incantata dai grappoli di fiori bianchi dei tuoi alberi in questa stagione, che si riflettono nelle pozzanghere lasciate dalla pioggia insieme ai tetti delle tue case ben fatte, come delle baite. E, con i bambini che giocavano intorno, quei tetti mi hanno rimandato ad un cielo bianco, che non I can describe, with accumulations that lead to gray to purple to blue ..

KOSOVO: WAR BETWEEN HIDDEN PONTI E MONASTERI

Before Roman riimmergermi into madness, I tell you a bit 'of the Balkans ..
So tonight, the Serbs celebrate Orthodox Easter, and the wonderful monastesteri spread out over this great land more 'or less as the Umbria, the ceremony will go ahead from midnight until the morning tomorrow. We hope all goes well, given that the Serbs are a minority, say not much loved in this former region of Serbia and the Albanian Muslim majority, which has declared independence one year. However should spin smoothly because each monastery here and 'guarded night and day by trucks of the KFOR (NATO soldiers in Kosovo). Unbelievable is not it? But very true: many churches and monasteries, a symbol of Serbian roots of this land have been a few years ago, attacked and burned by Albanian groups (which, in turn, a few years earlier had been persecuted by the ethnic cleansing of Milosevic). Only soldiers pototuto protect the frescoes that cover the interior of the imposing medieval monastery of Decani, the most 'important of these holy places (among other things, led by a ganzissimo Father Sava, a former rock band lead by a Serb), and anyway, the bulletproof glass of the cab of the military appear designed by gusts machine gun.

Tonight we do not get more 'ceremonies (why not' frightened by 4-5 hours of running! :-)) For an accident, (fortunately not serious), came to my traveling companion .. and, in reality ', I would like to tell because' well helps to explain what 's the situation here. Well this morning we went to Mitrovica, and that 'the city' in northern Kosovo around where some of the approximately 100,000 Serbs who still live there. In reality 'the city' and 'split half': the southern part of the river Ibar and 'Albanians in the north and the' Serbian. In between, on the bridge, there are (guess?) Soldiers of the KFOR. Us this morning we crossed, passing from the Albanian and Serb. Which means pass from noisy streets with shops in turkish style and a lot of garbage in the streets, streets square, clean and quiet. It means moving from a euphoric atmosphere nervous, scared, in which even the guys do not want to be photographed. The crossing and 'then clearly signposted graphically red flags are left with the Albanian eagle on display in every balcony, window or public building (along with the American flag and Kosovo) and are exposed tricolor Serbs around, sometimes with signs that thunders "Kosovo and 'Serbia." We say that this contrast in order to photograph my friend, (capita..) And is' taking a strong retort. And we say that the bad luck we were happy that it happened just at the "precise" the city '. In fact, once the ambulance took her to the hospital, the fact sheet (thankfully nothing broken) and wrap in an hour and then called a taxi to return. Now the only problem was that the taxi Serbian only up to the river, like all machines on the other side, crossing and 'taboo! It is practically impossible: "Of course you have to cross the bridge alone!" Said the nurse who had just finished putting a kind of plaster to my friend, who obviously could not walk. At the end when crossing the Kosovo police accompanied us nicely. Apart from the cast and of course the hassle, all right at the end for us, though, 'which stories ..
