In less than a week Project BiH (Bosnia and Herzegovina) will be over. I only have four more days of work; Wednesday is our final group meeting and dinner; Thursday is my last night; and, Friday morning around 6am, I’ll be leaving the hostel to begin two weeks of travelling. Many of us are experiencing mixed emotions about leaving Sarajevo. Over the last week it has become clear that many of us are ready to move on, as our bodies started to fail us (most of us are fighting off colds or other illnesses) and internships started to wind down. Every day people are now counting down the days left until they are reunited with their loved ones. I think many of us are struggling with the idea of leaving as well though. I know that I am! As I’ve written about before, I’ve become deeply attached to Sarajevo. Every time we leave the city for an excursion, no matter how wonderful the trip is, when we drive back into the city, I breathe a sigh of relief, as I feel like I am home again. I am so glad that after my two weeks of travelling, I will have one final night in Sarajevo before I fly back to my real home in Denver. I plan to make the most of my limited time remaining here, but I know it will fly by and there will still be so much of the city that remains undiscovered by me. I guess all that I can do is enjoy the time I have left here and recognize how lucky I am to have been in Sarajevo for two months.
So, only four full days left in Sarajevo and then on Friday morning I will be on my way to Split, Croatia. On Saturday morning I start the first of two bus tours I am going on and over two weeks I will be spending time in Croatia, Slovenia, Austria, Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia, and Hungary. I have never been to any of those places before and am so excited for the opportunity. I hope I’ll have the chance to blog a bit along the way, but I’m not sure how much time I’ll have, as the tour sounds pretty booked.
Finally, I want to wish a very happy birthday to my Mom. I love and miss you and hope you have a great day!
