"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor, catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." -Mark Twain

I left my heart in Croatia

For those of you keeping track at home, I have a new best friend.  Her name is Antonela Bratanić and she's 6 years old. (Dont worry Tim and Abby- you guys are still number one in my heart!) despite her knowing about two words in English and me only knowing how to say 'thank you' in Croatian, we spent the whole morning together coloring, playing, and wandering around. We weren't supposed to take pictures of the kids at the orphanage today for typical privacy reasons, but I can't make myself delete the ones she took of herself/the two of us, or take off the less than stellar bright blue manicure she gave me (so we would match, obviously)

I was going to post a few of my favorites but this internet cafe is choosing to be really slow and they wont upload... I'll post them later, I promise!

    Mags! I miss you SOOOO much and I love reading your journals/blogs! ("Journals" to me, because it reminds me of last summer!) I am sooo proud of you for making it on this great adventure and for all of the gelato you are eating, clearly the best part of our trip! Thanks for being my entertainment while I am mindlessly stuffing mail at work...keep the novels coming! LOVE YOU!!!
