BELGRADE....home sweet home...
I have arrived in Belgrade this evening after an exciting overnight train ride from Geneva. The first day we arrived in Geneva consisted of a walk around the lake, a coffee break, some of the historic sights of Geneva, and an early dinner followed by an early bedtime. We were then able to sleep in each day to help us better accommodate to the new time zone. We watched lots of BBC documentaries (2 separate series) based on the Bosnian and Kosovo wars. We also watched a Women in Black video. It made me even more excited to arrive. We then left on Friday evening on a train to Zurich where we transferred to a night train to Zagreb. Tory and Katie (the other two Balkan BVSers) then transferred to a bus from Zagreb. I stayed on the train (I moved from the cozy sleeping cars to the cozy sitting cars) all the way to Belgrade. Rachel met me at the station and helped me lug my stuff up a steep hill. I will be staying in a bedroom/storage room in the office for a few weeks. I don't think I will meet everyone until Monday, but they left me some flowers and some welcoming signs. It was a nice surprise.

WOW! Another "Office". This one starring Katie via WEBCAM. I'll have to get the episodes from the "parental units." I'm glad that you are "home" safe and sound. We will look forward to your musings. Take care. We miss you and pray for you daily.
P.I. not to be confused with P.U.(parental units)
We are so glad you have arrived from your travels safely to what is your home for awhile. Hope it won't take you too long to find some good places to shop and eat. We'll send some Halloween pix in a couple of days, and when you get the post office system worked out let us know and we'll send you some candy, too ;)
We are glad that you have arrived safely in Belgrade. We look forward to hearing about the latest news and what you are learning when you are there. We love you and miss you. Let us know when you have an address, and we will start sending cards!
Love, Keith and Amy
