I arrived in Sarjevo yesterday at about noon local time. The flights were really tiring, since we didnt get to our hotel until about 11 in London and had to wake up at 2 30 to take the first bus to the airport.
We lost two out of seven bags in transit. Laura and I each have one personal bag and the rest were supplies and donations for the orphanage. Unfortunately Lauras personal bag was lost along with one orphanage bag. It would have been better to lose two orphanage bags, since we dont leave for the orphanage until Saturday. The bags are supposed to be delivered to our flat today.
Last night Laura and I went to the Mexican restaurant in Sarajevo with our friends Aldin and Zuti. Its crazy that some of the best Mexican food Ive ever had is in Bosnia. Another American, Will, came as well. He has been in Bosnia for the past 10 months working for TWI, the UN Development Program, and now OSC. He is living in an apartment owned by Zutis grandma. I think its really cool that he started out working with TWI and then worked for the UN doing development work, since thats what I hope to do after graduation.

Hey Margaret my love,
Sounds like you are having a good time so far. That bites about the luggage, but I am sure you will be a doll and lend Laura some clean panties. Damn I hate that word (panties) I don't know why I used it, underwear would have been a better choice. Ahh well.
Love you lots babe,
Amanda

Mexican food in Bosnia? Dubious indeed. What's the authentic Bosnian cuisine like? (boiled cabbage or something?)
