    Croatia. Summer 2015. I am sitting in the back of a stranger’s car on the way to a cemetery as a little girl in a yellow tutu reaches into her white sparkly purse on the seat between us and pulls out a seemingly endless group of bobble head pets. We don’t speak each other’s language so we communicate through hand signals while she tries to teach me the Croatian alphabet. She laughs at my funny pronunciation, and I smile at her enthusiasm for spelling every passing sign. I was traveling through Eastern
