.Sarajevo.

Bosnia is such a beautiful country. It was wonderful experiancing the season of fall and watching yellow, red, and brown leaves raining down on quiet lanes full of bikers, joggers, people walking their pets, couples kissing (eh da?!haram!), and elderly folks out for a stroll. I ate some of the best food and got to see the religon of islam from a totally different perspective. It was great being in Europe and blending in with people around me.


It would have been perfect if there wasn't this constant reminder of the war. There were buildings full of bullet holes and ruins of apartment buildings, and economy is relatively poor compared to the rest of Europe. It's amazing to see how people have recovered from the war especially with the help of MCC and it's partners there : )


There are lights that tell people when to cross the street?! what?! there are laws that people obey when driving? no way! that's insane.


It was also great to see all the MCC CRs again! We played dutch blitz and spent many hours around dinner tables chatting. It was great to reconnect with the group and i can't wait to see them in the spring! It was sad to see that Eldon and Jane's family and Alain and Sonya and family weren't there either...it was a different group this year.


Over all i had a great time in Sarajevo!
