Picutures as promised...

This is the view from the walkway by the water at Lake Ohrid. The area across the water is the "old town" with most of the historic churches and narrow cobblestone streets.

This is the view from the balcony of our room. When we arrived in Ohrid, we just walked around in the area we wanted to stay and looked for houses with signs out front that advertised rooms for rent. As we were walking around, several people approached us offering rooms in their homes. We followed a very nice old man on a bicycle to his home, which was beautiful, but we decided too far away from the main attractions in Ohrid. We finally decided on this place: a gorgeous room, great bathroom (the first bathtub I have seen since I have been here), and a balcony with this amazing view right outside our room. The room was simple, but clean and friendly. There were two small beds and shelves with nicknacks, pictures of children, and old toys. We shared the bathroom and the kitchen with a very congenial man and his family. He even allowed us to use his coffee in the mornings:) The prices here are unbeatable too. We paid 300 denars (roughly the equivalent of $6).

This is a picture of the garden in front of the house where we stayed from the balcony. As you can see, it is just gorgeous!
