Word from the kid today is that they are in Belgrade, Serbia at a youth hostel. He relates seeing a lot of bombed out buildings from the recent war years but says the city is beautiful. I googled it for pictures and background. It is an old city and has a long history according to archeologists.
It has been conquered by just about everyone who was a conquerer. The breakup of Yogoslavia in the 90's and ethnic cleansing atrocities during that time are freshest in my memory.
