hooray, christina and i are finally back home! actually, we got home yesterday – i couldn’t post anything until now, however, since our internet has been dead the last two days. ::angrily shakes fist at verizon::

up there on the left, you can see that i had 4464 unread emails! turns out that i forgot to turn off my world cup ticket finding program during our trip. so every 5 minutes or so of the past 2.5 weeks, i’ve gotten an email from myself.

in any case, it was an incredible trip. somehow, we managed to backpack our way through a slew of cities: amsterdam, brussels, prague, berlin, cologne, dusseldorf, gelsenkirchen, and london. it was a real adventure, since we had no prior hotel reservations and little-to-no access to phones or the internet.
