I am headed back to the states tomorrow morning, and I am so sad to leave Belgrade. It seems like I just got here, and I feel like I could stay a lot longer. It is so good to be living with my sister, to see her in her element. I am so impressed with her steady improvement with the language, and I would love to be here when she really starts to hit her stride.
I am sad to leave our new family friends, and the many kind people who have welcomed us here over the past three weeks, but I am content that any previous biases and stereotypes I held about this area of the world are now firmly in check, and truly look forward to coming back someday.
I would definitely recommend Serbia as an incredible place to visit- there is so much history here, and while not every physical element has been perfectly preserved, most of the people we met were really interested in and knowledgable about their nation's past, and were always willing to tell us about it. I think that the warmth that we recieved as foreigners is a part of the culture as well, people seemed to be as kind and open with each other as they were with us.
I am off on the next adventure now, first to Nashville for a wedding, then to Mexico. I can hardly believe I planned all this...
I hope all is well, friends! If anyone needs a break and wants to come along with me...
