So, Germany is....just as I remember it. Except for all the people who made my experience here invaluable. Of course, I HAVE seen some of them. The Drakes, Shawn and Eric Newby, David Armstrong, Jeffrey Laughlin, Dunham, Luke Gibbons, Gail Palsky. So yeah...it's been great to see them!
As for the usual litany of holiday activities, I've been doing a lot of relaxing. I think in the upcoming week, I'll start visiting places that I love: Basel, Freiburg, Staufen, perhaps the Alps....who knows. Definitely at least France and Switzerland on several occasions. Who can tell? Regardless, I will take pics with reckless abandon.
Well, I suppose I don't have much to say. It feels odd to be back. It's my favourite place in the world, so it's strange that I feel sad (in a way) to be here. I reckon that, as I start visiting places which I associate with different people, this same bittersweet feeling will remain. It's always been a healthy exercise for me, though. It somehow helps me move past those strict associations, and enables me to enjoy the place for what it is.
So I'm out of here. Will I have a fourth fitful night of what can loosely be characterized as sleep? I hope not! Jet lag sucks.

one of the worst things about VISITING your favOUrite place in the world is knowing that you don't LIVE there anymore, non?
Sounds like you've got a rockin week ahead of you! I look forward to your pics with a lot of anticipation! Yahoo! (Don't mind me... I'm just trying to experience Europe through you vicariously!)

Are you not maybe feeling bittersweet because you know you're going to have to leave again? I hope it passes!
