Well, we’re back in the good ole’ U.S. of A. No more signs I can’t read, so more bus-metro-metro-bus-tram-bus connections, no more grimaces of disgust in response to smiles of greeting…yes, it’s good to be back.
However, it’s also tough to be back. I’m sure Alison and I haven’t even scratched the surface of our need to process the last year. I sense in us an almost frantic need to talk about our experiences with people, AND we haven’t really ventured out much into the “real world” of America in order to begin re-entry.
Despite all this, we’re excited about the days and weeks to come. There is a lot going on in North America this summer for the Raskins! For that reason I am opting to keep this blog, though the “Czech” pun no longer really applies. I know we haven’t been the most faithful “updaters,” but hopefully we can keep a modestly recent account of news and stories. Who knows? But for now, thanks for “checking out the Raskins” and hopefully there will be more in store soon!

We miss seeing both of you and your smiling faces. We had a wonderful time in the 3 Baltic countries … each city, Vilnius, Riga, Tartu and Tallinn are very interesting and each is very different from the other.
How did your Sunday in Massachusetts go? We hope and pray well.
We were happy to get back to IBTS but sad knowing that you two would not be here.
