Post cards from Sarajevo!

“Hvala!”, By Ida Marie Giusti

Greetings from Sarajevo!

Philatelists, when visiting Croatia on Easter Monday – please remember that post offices are closed!

And don’t forget that pointing comes in handy when the English language is a problem, places like Sarajevo!

When I visited the post office, I was lucky enough to go through a couple of large stamp books with the woman at the philatelic counter. I found stamps with subjects such as the national dish Cevapi, architecture, animals and flowers.

And the end of my purchase, she must have known I was a stamp collector because she placed them in a large envelope then said with a smile “Hvala” which means “thank you” in Bosnian.
