| The park |
Since Lizzie was visiting Tetovo for the first time, we thought it was a good idea to go up to the Kale today (the castle on the hill/mountain). We also had a leisurely morning, so in planning for our day we decided to walk to the center, take a taxi to the top, and then walk back down. The reasoning behind this was that by the time we started our journey, it was 1pm, and walking up and down it would take us longer than the number of hours of daylight we had left. On our way to the center we stopped at the park next to the Vardar river where the Painted Mosque and Turkish Bath are located. I have to share a few more pictures of the area that I took this time.

This was my second time to Kale, but I saw more things this time that I did not last time. Here are some of the pictures from this trip. The colors of fall were so beautiful! The mountainside was covered in trees of orange, yellow and browns.

When we got back to my dorm from our day of walking, we decided to cook dinner. Also, Lizzie found the Husker game being streamed online! So we ate our yummy dinner and watched some football!!
Lesson: The second time seeing things can allow you to find things you never saw before!
