Hello friends!--Anne and I enjoyed a nice trip south to Phoenix and Tucson recently. Sunshine is good ;) We stayed with David and Janis Findlay in Tucson and enjoyed a fun dinner with John and Debbie Blackburn as well. Always good to hook up with members of our Onati group wherever the opportunity presents itself. Hope you are all well and that our paths can cross again soon.

We spent our spring break in Istanbul, Turkey and enjoyed what that crossroads city had to offer. We've been to some amazing places during our almost 36 years of marriage and Istanbul doesn't take a back seat to any of them. Amazing setting, wondeful sights, people, and food. Easy to get around and like any place you can live it up or enjoy yourself without breaking the bank. We always try to use the Hop on/Hop off bus when we first get to a city to orient ourselves. Along with the bus the tram… Continue

We hope this finds all of our good friends enjoying the fall and readying themselves for Thanksgiving. It's hard to believe that we have been living/teaching in Sarajevo, Bosnia for three months! We've seen and done a lot and hopefully the weather will cooperate so that we can get in more little day and weekend trips. The fall is glorious here and we took a beautitful drive north of here to a small town called Olovo. We get out on the weekends to ride our bikes through downtown Sarajevo and out… Continue

We survived our first two days of school with kids. Fun being back in the classroom with kids from all over the world as that global perspective is refreshing. Yesterday we took our first major road trip out of the city to Mostar. It is the unofficial capital of Herzegovina and very famous for its bridge. We wound through the mountains for about two hours/80 miles and found ourselves in a much different climate than in Sarajevo. It was a sweltering 100F so frequent… Continue

Anne and I have enjoyed our first five days here in Sarajevo adjusting to our new digs, the language, school, apartment etc. Just back from a very fun night in the old town eating, drinking, and dancing. The people are great and the location/scenery are spectatular. Getting around in our Renault is pretty wild as the narrow streets and wild drivers make for some challenging driving. We have our eyes closed the entire time:) Hope you are all well.

Friends--We're counting down the months until we head out on next big adventure in Bosnia. We're hoping see many new and old sites during out two years there. Onate and other places in Spain are definitely on our wish list of places to visit especially after seeing many recent photos of the area that people have posted from their recent visits to the Basque Country. Does anyone have Sheila Fritz's e-mail address as we're hoping to spend some quality time in Onate? We've been in touch with Jaime… Continue
