well, all is going well here in Bihac. the weather is much nicer than it was in Maine last week, and the European heat wave has subsided a bit, so it's not too hot. Almost all the buildings around here have lots of bullet holes in them from the wartime activities, but reconstruction is underway. The REAL issue with the infrastructure here is not so much war-related but plain old neglect from 40 years of communist rule. It's so bad it's funny...you have to be here funny that is. when I'm able to hook up my own computer I'll post some photos of rafting, the wedding and more. Running water, even without cold water, would be nice. more than a few hours a day.

Our hotel is directly accross from an outdoor disco that is open until 3 am. We have adopted a 'if you cannot beat em, join em' approach. I was able to get a BIHAC mobile sim card and finally could call the states, but then managed to forget it at bar last night...and it is no officially lost. oh well. I refuse to let it add needless stress. Today is the wedding...more later.
