Explore Skopje.

Breakfast was on the 6th floor of the Stonebridge Hotel with a view of the monuments, statues, and expensive modern architecture below. The plan for the day was a walking tour of the Macedonian capital close to the hotel. We crossed the Varda River on the Stone Bridge, the oldest bridge in Macedonia, saw a cool sculpture, stood near the site of the house where Mother Teresa was born, contended with aggressive stray dogs (not to us, but to bicyclists going by), went to the multi-floor Archaeological Museum, and strolled through an old Turkish bazaar.

Because it was the last night of our trip, we borrowed a projector and a small conference room from the hotel where Peggy and I showed some pictures (a lot) I'd taken during the trip. We saw so much, so seeing where we had been was enjoyed by all. Then we had an OAT-sponsored dinner, complete with live Greek music (stand-up bass, guitar, accordion, bouzouki, and singing). Fanis knew all the words and provided added entertainment with spirited dancing… by himself and with female members of our tour group.
