I have been galavanting about for a year and a half now! I was having a great time, and seeing all kinds of gorgeous earthly things, until I fell down really, really hard in Portugal and busted myself up pretty badly about the femur. See pretty before and after surgery x-rays. Ouch! I am hoping things are starting to look a little better in there now. As you can see, they did some extra accidental bone-breaking during the surgery :( If you are going to fall down and require surgery, try not to do it in Portugal. If you must, seek consolation in the fact that the views from the hospital window are quite lovely. We never made it to the Semana Santa festivities in Granada (where we were headed from Lisbon), but maybe maybe maybe next year, provided I avoid slippery surfaces and other hazards.
So, I ventured to Cleveland, via two weeks in London, and am healing with parents who are nice enough to drive me to the doctor and feed me delicious things. I did manage to get to Spain and Greece before getting broken, so I will live vicariously through the nostalgia for now, until I am back up and travel-ready again.
