Random pictures and thoughts from my life!

Well, the day I had been waiting for for 5 months had finally arrived!  I would be leaving today for my 2 week adventure in Eastern Europe!  Around 11:15 Ben showed up at my house to give me a ride to the airport.  From 12:00 noon until 10:00 am local time in Paris, I would be stuck in airports and long flights.  I did, however, meet an interesting German American, who is living in Miami teaching gifted first graders, named Ute on the flight to Paris.  As I was unable…
