Where I am as we speak.  Translation from the latin: Land of Maces.  Or not.  Anyhow, the climate is perfect, the food is pretty good, although the Macedonian food mostly consists of grilled/roasted meats and lots of salads.  There’s a great river walk thing with cafes next to the hotel, and an irish pub with guinness and free wireless.   the people here are nice, except for the bouncer who wouldn't lets into the club with the cool couches Rachel wanted us to go to .  We told her to go back buy herself, and show off the goods a little more, but NOOOooo.   The video is a thunderstorm from the plane.
