Last time we took off on a working/living trip (to Ghana), we waxed philosophical about our reasons for traveling. This time, we are running away. We are packing our little bundles and throwing them over our shoulders and running from the floors that need refinishing, the fence that needs staining, the responsibilities that pile up like dust bunnies. (And the dust bunnies! We are running from those!)
Sure, we are still after the adventure, but we have to admit that, as daughter Sarah says, after we are home a few months we start chafing a bit at everyday life. We are addicted to seeing what is around the next corner.
This time, we are heading for Bosnia and Herzegovena, Sarajevo in particular. We'll both be working with journalists, and I am hoping to do some more with the writing club idea that I worked on in Ghana. We are excited to see a different part of the world - very different from Africa, we suspect.
We know we are the hare rather than the tortoise in the famous fable - we have always felt that the hare got a bum rap. So come run away with us via this blog!
I am terribly envious. Will you be there in late June-early July? I'd like to visit the land now that peace has returned.
