  • I smell the bumpy dirt roads that are everywhere
  • I feel the heat on my head as the flame that fills the hot air balloon with warm air fires up
  • I taste the culture of Tanzania, Africa.
Croatia     

  • I see red-tiled roofs as I walk along Dubrovnik's city wall

Bosnia     

  • I see the border guards of Bosnia and Croatia only a few feet apart, with the border in between them    
  • I hear the line of cars that are anxious to leave Bosnia for the weekend
  • I smell the groceries of a small market that we stopped in
