August 2009
Intro
Excerpt from my first journal entry of the trip:
“I’m not even on the plane yet and this ridiculous little ‘weekend’ trip to Europe is already starting to be eventful — but let’s back up a minute…
I’m heading out on a Friday afternoon from work to go to Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia + Herzegovina, Republika Srprska, and Montenegro [and
Austria!] — for THREE days — and will be back at work Tuesday. Seriously, it’s ridiculous.
I just wanted to be there. It’s one of those rare, special, once-in-a-lifetime types of experiences for an architect, hearkening back to the glory days of the “Master Builder”. Actually selecting the stone from a quarry, from the motherland, for our beautiful ‘jewel-box’ of a Church.”
What else can I say? It was crazy! It was amazing. (It was exhausting!)
It was absolutely ‘once-in-a-lifetime’.
