We’re really counting down the days now… After today there are only 6 more days at our respective jobs, 12 more days before we move out of our flat and head down to Italy, and less than 30 days before we’re back in Kentucky. It’s hard to articulate the passage of time in a normal situation, but it’s especially difficult now. Sometimes it feels like we’ve been gone forever, been gone for decades, been gone for our whole lives. And other times, like writing this now, it seems like we just arrived in Europe. It was supposed to be such a long trip, and it’s already just about over. That must mean it’s been just a small amount of time. I still refer to the things that happened in June-August 2005 as “last summer.” I have to remind myself that I’m 23 because my birthday came and went while over here. Coming back to college graduations of a lot of my friends won’t help the space-time confusion, especially when some of those people are the same age as me. And coming back at virtually the same time of year as we left, won’t help my head. Anyway, the count is on.
We’ve spent the past couple of weekends finally getting some of our London tourist activities in. We went to the Tower of London, Hampton Court Palace, and the London Zoo. There are some photos from all of these, but I’ve been too busy at work to deal with the photos right now. Training my replacement is taking up all of my day. It’s like I have a real job or something.
So we should have a fun 4 day Easter weekend, post some photos of that next week, and then make some last-minute comments before checking out and heading to Italia. I doubt that we’ll be updating much from there, but a full wrap-up should follow when we get back to Louisville.
I’ll write more when I can,
BCV.
