Well, I made it back and WHAT A TRIP! I mean, Literally and Figuratively...WHAT A TRIP!

France was nice...I don't especially want to go back any time soon. If given the opportunity, I won't say no, but I won't be pushing to return. It was cold and the sun only came out for 2-3 hours a day...Not my bag.

Italy, however...Ah, sweet Italy. I would move there in a heartbeat. I'm in love with Italy...still. The cobblestone streets, the ancient ruins, the old churches, the beautiful marble still standing after thousands of years...Ah, Italy. I WILL return.

I've filled one of those blank journals front to back with my trip - working and vacation. My hope is to get it from the written page onto the electronic page soon, so stay tuned. I'll Title each entry with the date I wrote it and I'll keep them in chronological order.

Back to work today and I was so used to working long hours that it was 5:16 before I knew it!

Sleep is good, though, and I think I'll get ready for some more right now.

Buona notte!
