So I’m tired, obviously, I am. We just got back from our week long trip from the Balkans and it is time for class, but my mind is still on the past week. We went to a record-breaking (for me) five countries in 8 days. Albania, Montenegro, Bosnia, Serbia, and Macedonia, you can also count the Bus as a country since we were probably riding inside for jsut as long as we stayed in some of the countries. This trip was groundbreaking for me in many ways; it was the first time I (mostly) had autonomy (during free time) of my actions during a trip abroad. We went to historical sights that I had never gone to and we also went to Peace organizations, that I’d never heard of, including the OHR in Bosnia and a handful of NGO’s; bars…we also went to bars many. So after a week of traveling, staying up and learning, I am finally back at the campus I arrived in initially ready to learn. I climbed a mountain in Kotor and now it’s time to repeat the performance in Prishtina
