I am having so much fun travelling that I don't want to leave, but it helps to think about a cozy bed and cozy pjs and a cozy kitten, with freshly washed clothes that have been DRIED in a DRYER (this invention seems not to have made it to Eastern Europe yet) and a tummy full of Inn-N-Out and Flammin' Hot Cheetos. I just try not to think about how much, when I've had my fix, I'll want to be back right back where I am now.

Tomorrow I am leaving Europe. All that remains is a shower and a sleep, packing, and changing enough money to get me to the airport (it's funny how fast that stuff goes away, even here, in the land of the cheap), and dragging allll my stuff, which is significantly heavier after today than before. I had quite a lot of luck with presents and with book shopping: bought several books for studying Serbian, a dictionary, and some great books on history, about which I am very excited.
