more photos from around the village.  there are many very old and deserted properties which have fallen into disrepair due to many reasons, including wars, economy... being a small village many of the young people have left seeking jobs in bigger cities.  There are a few people who have taken some of these old deserted places and renovated them, keeping the style and feeling of the past with the updates we're used to... like plumbing! etc.!  We went with a local friend to see a very large property which has been renovated to a beautiful place which is rented out to tourists (mostly Europeans) and has 8 houses that they rent.  it has many of those amenities which appeal to tourists... large swimming pool, a building with massage facilities and huge sauna room, bar, eating area... etc.  Looking at all the many deserted places makes me really wish we had the funds to buy one and renovate it!  sigh... ain't gonna happen!
