Today was an awesome day! We went to the school for the
blind where we did a service day. It was ridiculously sweltering but we all
braved it and spent the day weeding their beautiful back yard, which is
spacious and so well kept. Davis, the only man in our group, was given a beer
by the lands keeper (who was also a man). He apparently thought that Davis was
the leader of our group. It was hilarious and we gave him shit for it the rest
of the day.
The school itself is amazing and they have a machine there
that will make books in Braille. It’s a beautiful place but definitely needs
some volunteer help to clean it up, so it was great to be able to provide that
for them. They provided us with lunch, which was delicious and completely
unexpected. Everyone is so generous here. It keeps on amazing me!
So all dirty and sweaty we finished up at the school and
made our way to the Twist Tower, which has almost a 360 degree view of
Sarajevo. We all had a beer or two and then took a cab back where we showered
and I took some time to catch up on emails and blogging. Later, Julie came back
after having a type of dumpling called klepe. She was ranting and raving about
it so I had to have some. She walked with me and we sat and talked while I
wolfed down on of the most amazing things I’ve ever had. It was like a beer
dumpling in a chicken and garlic broth with sour cream on the top of it. Upon
walking back to Hotel Kovaci, I was greeted by some of the other group members
where we spent some time laughing and drinking and just hanging out.
It’s such a great group of people that I’m here with and
watching how each of us has experienced this trip differently has been so much
fun!
