The Unique, Picturesque Town of Kratovo, Macedonia: Part 1

Small Kratovo became one of my Macedonia highlights; partly because local guides, Stevce, Jakim, and Goran gave such interesting facts and information. After all, how many times does a tourist see: White Pines from the Fourteenth Century; a bridge meant to resemble the builder's real face which was noseless; Ottoman history, and feudal towers.

I did my editing best and still came up with multiple videos to save your brain cells and mine. Keep watching for Parts 2 and 3 gives a short Jewish history and the last, covers one of my favorite subjects - food). L-o-v-ed this little town...

It's so hard to believe a tree could survive so long. And scientists have tried growing trees from these seedings but they won't grow anywhere else. 'Tis a puzzlement.
