Of course, Sarajevo is still recovering from the storm, and will continue to do so for quite some time. I’m hoping that it doesn’t get suddenly warm, or else there will be some massive puddles!

| Along the road in Otes |
Rather than canceling our concert this week, the administration decided to postpone it by two days. So I’ve had yesterday and today off, but we go back to rehearsal starting tomorrow. We’re going to play Rhapsody in Blue and Mendelssohn 1, a very unique program. I’m looking forward to getting back to work, and am very glad that “the show will go on.” However, the tram is still not running all the way to Ilidza, so we’ll have quite a long commute tomorrow, going first by foot, then bus, and then tram.
I walked from Otes into Ilidza on Sunday and yesterday to take pictures and buy some groceries. On Sunday, there were very narrow pathways that made it possible to walk, but still difficult to drive. By Monday, most of the major roads had been cleared, both by shoveling and by bulldozers. Now the snow banks are almost twice as tall as me!

| Ilidza on Sunday |
When I went into Ilidza yesterday, I walked with my roommate Sara, and met up with our friends Ingrid and Mattia. We had some coffee and it felt so good to get out of the apartment and socialize. On the way back we had a little bit of a snow fight. J It’s funny how massive snowstorms tend to bring out the kid in everybody.
