Ohrid

You know, this Summer Course is not just about lectures, tasks and learning... Last weekend we spent on a field trip, visiting Ohrid, the lake and the town near the lake, famous touristic destination for both foreign and Macedonian tourists. I was impressed by its beauty and size - that lake is realy huge! The place of the same name is beautiful, too, and attracts the attention with both its stone fortification and the ancient part of town and nice restaurants, where you can try original Macedonian and the other world-known specialities, with its souvenir shops, beaches, bars and parks... There are some old houses and churches, with very rich collection of icons. I found it totally interesting because my father paints the icons in his free time, so I' m surrounded by them ever since... That' s the reason of putting one of those on my blog. You can see it if you scroll down the blog, on the right side.
