<p>Good Evening!</p> <p>It´s been a rather uneventful, but pleasant day. Lots of sunshine, not too hot and a light breeze to keep the air clean - that´s the way I like it.</p> <p>My favorite TV show is back on air - railroad romances. Today´s episode was about the famous Sarganska Osmica. You don´t know it and you don´t speak the Serbo-Croatian language. Sarganska Osmica means "the Sargans Mountain Eight" describing the route of the narrow gauge line through the Serbian Mountains. The line was closed in 1974 and much of it destroyed during the Jugoslavian war in the early 1990´s, but it has been rebuilt since and serves as a major tourist attraction in an otherwise rather poor region of Serbia.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p><img src="https://zaboravljenizvuci.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/sarganska-osmica-7.jpg" alt=" " /></p> <p>The line is the sole survivor of what was once a quite huge network of narrow gauge lines, connecting Belgrade with Sarajevo and all the way to Dubrovnik. An express train took 23 hours from Belgrade to Dubrovnik - a run of some 250 miles on 2 1/2 ft. track!</p> <p><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/C9rNoZr2fZ4" width="425" height="350"></iframe></p> <p>Galaxy - I know the two of you really wanted to have this house, but don´t be sad if you don´t get it. There will be lots of other opportunities!</p> <p>Uncle Bob - I am sorry to hear about your loss! It´s not easy to lose a pet, which had been a companion for a long time.</p> <p>Janie, I´ll stay here at the RC and enjoy a[D] while watching who else will drop by!</p>
