I love what I do, but it is always nice to have time away. Going into this weekend, I am not sure what all will happen. What I do know is that I am going to have time away from Arad. Time away from responsibilities and an apartment that has become all too familiar.
After experiencing an Eastern European Christmas last year, myself and the Balls are traveling more toward the center of Europe. Tomorrow we embark on a weekend trips spanning three countries, four cities and two fellow missionary families. Some of the highlights include Vienna, Budapest, and Bratislava.
If you have not been out to Romania it may be difficult to understand, but the farther you go west in Europe the more "civilized" it becomes. This is not by any stretch a slam on Romania, but a truth that other countries have had more time to thrive. It has been only 20 years since Ceausescu was kicked out of office and it takes awhile for a country to get back on its feet (also the fact that Romania has only been an EU nation for two years).
Being able to have some time to kick back and relax is, I have a feeling, just what the doctor ordered.
