On February 17th 2008 the brave little country of Kosovo claimed its place among the nations of the
powerful continent of Europe. One unique thing I've found out is that all the cites (on the map anyways) all
have two names. I must say from the few pictures my Father and I gathered of the place, is that Kosovo is
as beautiful as its neighbors from the former Yugoslavia. If you ever get the chance to visit Southeast
Europe please visit young Kosovo and take some good photos and then send me a link please. I'll make
certain to post it here.
