Macedonia, our 13th country, is a land-locked country in the western Balkans.  It was formerly part of Yugoslavia, gaining independence in 1991.  We entered on the eastern side and plan a ride along the southern edge to the resort lake of Ohrid.  We will only be in Macedonia for a week or so but hope to get idea of what life here is all about.  The flag here is quite interesting, looking like the old Japanese rising sun flag, but with red and yellow – see the banner above.
