Life back in the U.S.....

My thoughts on adjusting back to life here:

  • Cars have blinkers on them? Guess I must have forgotten after 9 months...
  • The backyard is huge! I have a backyard!
  • Are cars really that big?
  • Where's all the tall apartment buildings?
  • Milk. It does a body good (at least the kind that doesn't come in a box)
  • Should I feel guilty for taking a 20 minute shower?
  • What?! No recycling?!
  • Air conditioning. The best invention EVER!
  • Carpet. Can I say foot massage?
  • Cream of chicken soup. Gotta love it! Very versatile...
  • Bummer...no metro
  • No more walking. Cars rule the world.
  • Are dollar bills REALLY that long?!
  • What a luxury...going to the gym (never thought I'd say that)
  • Microwave...the next best invention ever.
  • Do I really get to choose between more than 8 shirts and 3 pair of pants?
  • Is everyone around me speaking English? Haven't heard that in a while...
  • That's weird. No dubbing at the movie theaters.
  • I woke up at 7 am again?! Can't seem to sleep in these days...I guess it's the jumping back 9 hours in time.
  • I can actually sleep through church since I understand the talks. Just kidding!
  • I don't have to wear a money belt!

I´m still alive...!!!

Just wanted to let you all know that I haven´t forgotten to post anything lately, it´s just that the Internet is hard to come by here in Europe and time for that matter. I only have about 2 weeks left here backpacking and then I will definitely post some pictures.

In the mean time I am having the time of my life with my sisters. We´ve seen so many fantastic things. It´s so dang blasted hot here though and Europeans seem to not know what AC stands for. I roast every night and all day too.

We are in Berlin right now and head off to Scandinavia tomorrow. I´ll post some pics in about 2 weeks!!!
