I am back. I am only slightly jet-lagged. America was amazing. I ate far too much. It snowed. The buildings were very tall. American drivers are terrifying. I love ice-hockey. I have much tacky 'I Heart NY' merchandise. Nothing untoward happened (apart from having to take Jenny to ER for getting acid on her tongue, but that was just hilarious).
I will explain that last sentence another time, when I am slightly more awake.
ETA: Largely because Hannah just sent me this photo, and it made me laught for a stupidly long time, I feel I shoudl illustrate just how fun this trip was:
Yes, that is a giant bottle of Hershey's syrup. No, I didn't bring it home. It wouldn't have fit in my suitcase.
