Okay... I'm Back!

Greetings, friends and faithful patient ones! You'll perhaps be glad to know that I'm FINALLY... after two months... making myself get back to blogging. In defense (of myself), it must be said that I didn't ever intend to abandon the world of blogging for two months. I actually tried very hard for the first month to continue it faithfully... but the combination of wanting to surprise my parents with my new haircut, and of (thereafter) not having success with the internet connection, stopped me. Indeed, there were several times when I actually had an entry ready to post, but because of one computer/internet problem or another, never could get it done.

Then, I came back to the States... and there the internet speed was definitely not fast enough to successfully accomplish much. So I waited.

And waited. (And this is where I am no longer defendable.)

And now I am finally sitting in the Corban College coffee shop, using the hi-speed internet, making myself go back through time to my travels two months ago, to fill in the pieces I have until now left out.

It is with trepidation that I re-begin this online "journal" (of sorts), firstly because I don't know how many readers I have left (after abandoning you all so shamefully), and secondly because it's actually somewhat difficult to know what pictures to post and what to say on these things. But... I shall do my best.

So, in the next few days, I shall probably add quite a few new entries. Once I've caught up the actual "Europe experience" entries, I don't know how often I will update... but I do plan to continue blogging, even now that I'm back in "the real world." I may not always have interesting pictures to share, but I should have a few stories to tell or moments of wisdom to pass on, through the summer and especially during the coming school year. If you (my cherished readers) feel your interest waning once the trip pics stop coming, though, I more than understand.

Thank you all for your patience and interest... and many of you, for your kind words regarding this humble attempt at sharing the wonderful life I've been given.
