The Anticlimax

Well, as with most stories, it was all downhill after the climax of the trip, Paris. We spent some time relaxing, resting, and letting our knees and feet recover from all the museum-going. We went to see Transformers the Movie, which was awesome. German theaters are quite odd; there was assigned seating, an intermission halfway through the movie, and no AC. Great seats, though!

And now, at last, we are back home in the US. We had another horrible airport experience on our way home, with *gasp* what do you know, Lufthansa and Manchester Airport! The Lufthansa flight was late... again... and the pilot landed the plane as if he'd expected the ground to be about 50 feet further away than it was... *BOOM*. The lateness of our flight meant that we had to, literally, sprint to our next flight, to the alarming voice over the loudspeaker saying, "Last call for passengers Kafalas on AA Flight 95! Your plane is leaving!" We barely managed to make it, and our luggage, unfortunately, did not. It was shipped to us a couple days later. Yeah. Next time... non-stop flights, no question. Ugh.

But all in all, we had an amazing adventure. I have decided that I'd like to move to Europe for a while at some point, possibly to Italy, or Spain, and actually be exposed to that world for a long enough period of time to really take it in. Of course, I'm sure you could live there your whole life, and not ever take it all in, but what better way to try, than to just up and move there?

I'm thankful to John, for letting us have this opportunity, and thankful for my family for helping Amber and I get a real taste of some European culture.

Thank you all for tuning in, I hope you enjoyed my blog! See you next adventure!
