Hi Alina! I'm so glad I found your channel, it cheers me up to see sights from my country which I haven't been able to see a lot of during the pandemic. I can't wait to go back to travelling and experiencing new things. If you are still spending time in North Macedonia, I would recommend you to visit Krushevo! It's a small town with such a nice nature around it and lots of history. It's also close to Ohrid :) Have a nice time and enjoy your travels!

[@ronlanham1768]

Feeling Covid-nostalgic for Ohrid and the folks I've met there (been twice), and stumbled upon this wonderful video -- much as I stumbled onto the beautiful town myself. Dined al fresco at the same restaurant outside St. Sophia...which is pretty awesome itself and deserves a plug. In fact, my friends live just two flights of (steep!) steps from there. Only a couple times have I run into fellow Americans in Ohrid, and we feel like we're in on some special travel secret. Especially enjoyed the virtual walk along the boardwalk: breakfasted one Sunday morning out there, amazing view...just me and the "house" cat, who I ordered an extra egg for. Thanks for the memories, Alina.
