Trip 7 - The Balkans

20 August 2003 to 11 September 2003

I knew I'd be traveling plenty on the second eight-month stretch of the Fosse tour - but sneaking away for three weeks in the late summer would be my only chance to go where I wanted to, and on my own schedule. I didn't have time to take the trip I really wanted to take - a grand excursion through many of the old Soviet republics - but the trip had plenty of Slavic flavor.
