Please send me an email with all the details.. I want to hear all about the invitation every little thing they have told you. Macedonia sounds like a good bet. I dont think you will have the same experience there that I am having here. Plus, this program will surely keep you busy. And I know you are like me, a city girl, who needs to be busy!!!
