When the Army pulled out, our guys hired their cook to continue providing meals. They would go shopping with her to get the groceries. The truck had an overheating problem.

On the way back to Sarajevo, stopped at a roadside Bar-B-Q place.

They have a goat on a spit and have improvised a waterwheel to turn it.

If you want it to turn faster, open the faucet a little more.

Stuck in traffic on the approach to Sarajevo. The children were always curious and usually friendly toward us.

She wanted her picture taken.

Winter again! The US NIC.

Another view of the NIC. You can see what a prominent feature our catwalk was. The catwalk allowed us to bring down our antenna's for servicing.

The Jadran "hotel" and the US NIC (on right).

This building was so booby-trapped that they finally gave up on it and just put tape around it warning everybody to stay away.

Another view of the US NIC, showing our antenna towers.

The Crystal Palace was a Pizza place on base. The pizza was what we called "Ketchup Pizza" since the red sauce seemed to be mostly ketchup.

Snow covered limbs, looking at the Serbija Hotel.

How about one more view of the NIC and our towers?

One advantage of being at HQ in Sarajevo instead of out at one of the MNDs was that you could go out to dinner at restaurants in town.

Our favorite was the Texas, a Tex-Mex place in downtown Sarajevo.

Allthough I didn't have to sleep with the equipment anymore, I did have roommates who came and went at different times. Here I am opening a care package from friends.
