Preparing for my journey across the big pond...

Well...it seems like it was just yesterday when I was asked if I wanted to take this trip over to Croatia with my professor and a few fellow students...and now I'm leaving in just THREE DAYS!


We will be visiting with Croatian farmers and agricultural Extension professionals, learning about Croatian agriculture, and touring throughout the country for the first two weeks, and then I will stay on my own and explore a few subjects in more detail.


Seeing as I'm a recent college graduate and don't have a lot of extra money on hand, I decided to do a pie fundraiser...









...and thanks to all of my generous family, friends, and members of the Montana community, I sold 550 homemade pies and paid for my trip!!! Thank you to everyone who supported me!!


I hope everyone enjoys reading all about my trip to Croatia...come back soon!!!
