Brian's Visit & Istria Road Trip!

My friend, Brian Langseth, came to visit Croatia. He is also friends with Karuna, so it was fun for all of us to get a chance to hang out together. Karuna and I enjoyed showing Brian around Fuzine and introducing him to our friends here. Also, because we needed to take Brian to the airport, we ended up getting to go to Pula, which led to a fun road trip through Krk (to visit Lučana) and Istria.

EDS 2007

EDS (the Economic Diplomacy Seminar) begins tomorrow! Most of our EDS team members have already arrived, and the rest of the participants will arrive by tonight. The program officially begins tonight after dinner.

July 19 - Update
EDS ended on Sunday the 15th. It was very busy, but I made a few great new friends and enjoyed spending time with old friends. I was in charge of coordinating the music team, which I enjoyed. I still had work to do to prepare for ROM, so unfortunately I wasn't able to spend much time with the participants and had to miss several of the lectures, but I did get to go on the trip to Karlovac (farm)/Zagreb, and to Crikvenica, which were fun excursions. And I was challenged to continue to pay attention to how and where I spend my money, and to be a good steward of the resources that God has given me.
