So I have now been back in Sofia since about 5 am on Sunday morning. I really wish I had stayed in Kosovo, but I wanted to do some work and not have to pay for my lodging. Additionally, my good buddy Jimmy (kind of like a little bro) is staying here again at the hostel. Jimmy is from Australia, and we get along really well. I share my funds with him, and we spend some evenings cooking. He has some restaurant experience, which works out very well. I will only be here for three more weeks though. My friend Lauren, (who I know from WKU) and I will do a little traveling together. She does not feel comfortable traveling through Eastern Europe alone, so I agreed to escort her around a little bit, before I go to Poland.
Part of me wishes I had stayed in Kosovo, but I could not find any volunteer work right away. I met a few connections, but I have not received any replies from them so far. The people there were so kind, and the American flag was everywhere - definitely makes one feel at home. I may inquire into doing some work there at the beginning of next year though. I feel called to help in some way in this part of the world, and I know to do it for the right reasons.
With some friends that I made in the beautiful town of Prizren
Most importantly, I have warm weather clothes here at the hostel that I was in dire need of last week. The weather here has dropped into the 40s and 50s (8-15 in Celsius).
Anyway, it is getting a little late here. I will be posting a few items in the next twenty or thirty minutes.
