I remember the day I said to Jay, "we should create a blog for this trip so people can keep up with what we are doing." The intention was for others - friends, family, alumni. I had no idea that this blog would also benefit us.
Though by the end of every packed day it was a struggle to form a sentence, yet alone write a cohesive blog, at least one person was always willing.
This blog became a virtual journal of our time spent in Bulgaria and Romania, and it's nice to have something to look back on a few weeks or even months from now.
We have done so much, but more importantly (in my opinion) we have seen so much. Yes we have thousands of pictures, but they can't do this trip justice.
The connections we made and the bonds we formed strengthened the global Jewish community in intangible ways.
I'm heading home with a much larger sense of what the word community means, and look forward to maintaining the connections made while on this trip, as well as continuing to form new ones.
