Some photos from Bitola.
My accommodation was on Marx and Engels Street. Most signs and menus are in Cyrillic lettering, as in this address.
A view of part of Shirok Sokak from a second-floor cafe; there are two minarets in the distance.
The other direction of Shirok Sokak (because the road curved, it was unfortunately not possible to get a photo of it in entirety), with the Catholic church.
Some Ottoman-style architecture in the town square. The sign says, 'Anything is possible,'-- a sentiment not shared by many of the people who are faced with unemployment, low-paying jobs, or employment in sectors that are not what they studied.
Contrary to appearances, I do not believe that this poster (on the door of the American Corner) was actually promoting the trafficking of persons -- but it is certainly awkwardly-phrased.
A bust of Marshal Tito.
This graffiti was on a wall near the park. It was one of the first things I saw in Bitola as we were arriving on the bus.
The ruins of the ancient Roman town of Heraclea.
