hey grant! ...I promised you some comments;)...you have never told us about your uniqe and once in a lifetime experience with the regrat salad:)))! and if you'll ever get hungry in India, just let me know...I'll make sure you get a proper slovenian hot horse delivered to you;))!!
imagine What a fabulous experience! I am so excited to read your next adventure/entry. You look healthy and I am sure very happy!! Your writing talent is incredible, I can almost taste, smell, and visualize everything you talk about... vicariously living :)
wow It seems that you are truly an active traveler and not a passive tourist. Your writing is inspirational. It put a smile on my face to see that you visited Dubrovnik. It was my most favorite in Europe. I can't believe you've been gone almost a year. I look forward to your next entry.
Im jealous!!! Jealousy is a very good way to describe how I feel everytime I read your journal entries. I love seeing and reading about all of your adventures. Just wish I could come visit for a few days and get a little bit of what you're experiencing!!! Miss you!!! Kristy
Interesting experience I like the way you're talking about your trip through Balkans, it shows your inerest about the people of this countries so different from yours.
Balkan's history is the most difficult of all the Old Continent because it's at the cross roads of all the formers empires and kingdom:Ottoman, Russia,Austria, Germany,Italy...
Good luck to understand such a complex and rich history.If you succeed, you will know more about Europe than a lot of europeans.
I wonder how will be your trip in Russia.
Take care!
Kosovo I think that this blog thing was really a way for you to just get back at me for leaving early. Really can you rub it in any more, "I've never seen so much pro-American sentiment", "everyone is so nice" , "People are buying me drinks" . Okay i get the picture, i should have stayed for a few more months. But on a more serious note, it sounds like Kosovo and Sofia were really something to see and I'm very interested in seeing your pictures from there.
I jelous It sounds like your have a blast over there... Keep the updates coming as it is a good reason to stop in the middle of the day, and think about something besides work. Enjoy!
Miss you! Grant, wow your recent travels sound amazing! If you decide to head back toward Bulgaria I have a friend from the ship that his parents live in Sinemortitz, it is a small village off of the black sea, and he is visiting them this summer and you could so stay with them. Just thought I would offer it. Please keep the updates coming!
Love, Blair
What a world It's quite a question -- In such a big world, when, where, and to what extent do we intervene? There's no way to get everyone's agreement on the answer.
Good for you having this grand adventure. I really enjoy the posts.
do you know h.c.andersen He once wrote about all the young american students, who in the future would travel Europe in 8 days. They would see Coloseum, Acropolis, Spend a day in Paris and so on... And then believe they saw from where their ancestors came and understood what Europe is!
I guess you proved him wrong. I'm amazed about your writting and it's interesting to follow your eyes.
I hope you will have a wonderfull travel, and that we will keep in contact.

checking in Grant,

Take care,

Grant! You know how much I love horses!! I can't believe you actually ate a horse! That is sick and kinda sad :(
Other than that sounds like you are having a blast. Can't wait for the next update! - Allison Wade
I was sitting up here in the newborn nursery checking my email while reading a magazine. I came to your email and, at the same time, an article about the first transexual "female" golfer to ever be allowed to play on the European Lady's Professional Tour. I chose to read the article first, which is a complement to your writing, because I always save the best for last. Ciao. - Breck
keep it up Hi Grant,
I know my family has enjoyed reading about your exploits and will enjoy doing so going forward. I wish I was there to ski that powder with you...how funny that they don't like it and they have so much of it.
Anyway keep up with the journals, it's very interesting to hear your take on everything.

So very proud of you! Drink up life as much as you can on this journey, one day I hope to vote for a Mr. Hughes who'll be very wise and worldly :)! Stay Safe. - Zakia
Throw your dreams into space like a kite, and you do not know what it will bring back, a new life, a new friend, a new love, a new country...
