January 2023

Gone for some time, travelled through Eastern Europe by train. Where the tracks stopped I continued with a bus instead. Usually I had no idea where I’d go next - flipping a coin helped sometimes. Visited some friends and their families, I am most thankful for the touching warmth with which I was welcomed into their homes and lives. Returned at the end of November with bag full of pictures and stories. Currently unpacking, and digesting my last jar of Ajvar
