... Taken by Surprise!

Well, it was a long trip. That is all I will say for now... No, wait a minute, I will also say that even though we ultimately took pity on her, there is a woman named Consuela who works for Air Canada in DFW who has no business doing what she does for a living. Oh Consuela, so slow, so incompetent! When we were checking into our flight, it took her forty minutes (10 of which were spent trying to find out if Natalija needed a visa to land in a German airport... the AIRPORT!) In the time it took for her to check only Natalija and me in for the flight, her smirking and infinitely more competent colleague took care of every other passenger on the plane. Poor, poor Consuela.

Anyway, when we arrived, we ate until we forgot how to talk. Then, other stuff happened, most of which we don't remember because we were so sleep deprived. Somehow, Natalija's aunt, Lela and mom, Vesna took advantage of our discombobulated state and convinced us to go see Natasa and her family at her house (we wanted nothing but sleep). When we got there, all of Natalija's closest friends were there to surprise us and we had a party! Needless to say, this did not help the already pitiable cognitive state we were both in, but it was a very welcome surprise, and a very fun time. Pictures below.

So here we are again in Serbia, having fun and adjusting from the jet lag. Hooray! Write emails or comments: I look for them regularly throughout the day and do a happy dance when my inbox is full! Hope all is well with everyone.
