Where East and West drink coffee together: Sarajevo's bazaars a grenade's echo from Austro-Hungarian boulevards, the rebuilt Stari Most arcing over the Neretva as divers step into air, and the dervish house at Blagaj tucked under a cliff where a river simply exits a mountain. Wine country rolls south to Trebinje's plane-tree square.
