my last locale-based entry, i am home. after 20 some hours on planes, trains and automobiles, i arrived last night. a little tired, it was nice to stay up and see nate and matt and april, and mom of course. ended up going to bed around midnight and waking up around 2pm today. yay real beds. yay sleeping forever. today after visiting my great-grandmother, and dropping my mother of at work, i changed the remaining euros i had for the almighty us buck. how strange the us dollar looks. and now, i must go figure out my cell phone so that i can make some calls.
