My blog posts have been noticeably sparse. The infrequent at best availability of computers has been almost surprising as on my trip to southeast Asia internet cafes were on nearly every corner and cost only small change to use. Combine the limited access with the challenge of typing on a computer configured for eastern european language systems and it gets right hilarious. Letters are simply not where you are used to finding them and some keyboards will not allow you to type double letters. The bonus is - all the cool extras: č ć ž š đ . . . for instance. (we have been slowly learning the variations in pronunciation these symbols imply when trying to read Bosnian.) You will also the obvious lack of photos. .. come on, folks, lets be patient (I know theres supposed to be an apostrophe in lets, but cant locate apostrophes on this keyboard,) . .. i may get some on before the trip is over. . .if not, it will come in due time.
Meanwhile: a quick sketch of the past week . . . we have traveled by train, bus and ferry to move across Croatia and as of last night entered Bosnia. With each step of this trip, beginning in Vienna and gradually moving east, the cultures have become less western. It has been an ideal way to slide into the farther reaches of Eastern Europe. I will come back and fill you in on Croatia (indescribable beauty. ..). For now I am off to have a few short hours in Sarajevo. We set out at 5:30 am tomorrow for a bus ride to Livno, and what will be our home for the next two weeks. We are all quite ready to settle in to one place and to rest our bags for a glorious stretch of time.

It sounds like you are having so much fun!! I was able to read your blog by happen-stance. The internet blockers are down here in China. Normally I cannot access blogspot :(
I hope you have a fantastic time!
Keep the posts coming and I'll read them when the filters quit!
