On Sunday I will move to Bratislava, Slovakia's capital city, which is five hours from Kosice, if you take the fast train. I'll be there for 9 months, studying Slovak architectural history and restoration.

Thanks to your prayers, Karla's help, and God's mercy, as of yesterday I am 80% sure I have a place to live once I get there! ('ll let you know how that all looks once I get there!) So, now all that's left is to pack up, decide which train to take, and say good-bye...
