After 22 hours of travel, the "tenatious ten" made it home last night (Friday) at 11:00 p.m. Again we had a hitch in Frankfurt, but this one seemed to include an unattended bag and the security sweep of our terminal. My biggest disappointment of the trip came on Friday as we were leaving. Nobody seemed to appreciate the extra "sightseeing" we did in Belgrade as I was finding, I mean driving to, the airport.

The host church in Vrsac had a lovely barbeque for us on Thursday night. It was a beautiful way to celebrate a truly blessed trip. Pastor Avram Degas and his wife Yaroslava were the perfect hosts.

Please be looking on this blog for the "retrospectives" of the individuals on the trip. They will be posting some of their experiences, and you won't want to miss it!
