Damned nice sychronized dive, too.

8. Re Pic 7 - I was in Bosnia last June and

that event is apparently held in July, but in June, there were people who approached tourists and offered to jump from the bridge for money. I was quite taken with the people and culture and history - a trip I'll never forget.
