100 Meters...

Okay... In Palm Springs if you ask how far something is, if it is in the Cochella Valley, it's "20 minutes".  Regardless if it is 2 blocks away or 20 miles away, it is always "about 20 minutes".  I don't know why.

Bosnians have this same way of discussing distance.  If you ask if it is walkable, they say  "sure, 100 meters".  For us, 100 Meters is about a football field away.  For  Bosnians "100 meters" means anything from a 5 minute walk to a two hour hike.

The white spec in the distance is where the springs were in Blagaj.  It was NOT 100 meters, as my parking attendent indicated.
