i didnt think i could love this place--these hills, these roads, these vineyards, these people-- in just 3 weeks. i didnt know love could happen that fast. im learning the hard way, the beautiful way, that it can. i just said goodbye to my dear friend anita. she and i spent a lot of time together in these past 3 weeks, despite the fact that we dont speak the same language. but i feel like she knows me better than so many people i can speak english freely with. i have gotten such beautiful, thoughtful gifts and so much love from everyone here. my heart has been tested and stretched and warmed on this journey. today the mayor is throwing me a goodbye party. im humbled and totally honored. needless to say, i never thought i would be the guest of honor at a hungarian ball, but here i am, living the life i could not possibly have imagined. i can only hope that my next village will be a fraction of what this one has been. i hope that the hearts are nearly as big, the eyes nearly as kind, and the arms nearly as open at the ones in csatár and bocfölde. i have learned how to love a different way here. tomorrow i get on a train to komarno, slovakia. after 2 days of partying it up, i will be in Alsobodók (also known as Dolné odokovce), Slovakia.i will write you when i get there.
love
