I sure racked up the books over this trip! I mentioned them before but here they are in list format. Plus it looks more impressive in a list like this, haha!

Some of these I loved, some of  these… not so much. I brought the first three with me but I was done with them by the second week. Eventually I was pretty much reading whatever English books I could get my hands on. If you want more info on any of them, or to find out what I thought, just let me know and I’ll be happy to discuss ’em :)

–Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer
–A Spot of Bother by Mark Haddon
–Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil by  John Berendt
–Harvesting the Heart by Jodi Picoult
–Bluebeard by Kurt Vonnegut
–Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
–God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy

Traveling by yourself doesn’t leave a lot of room for variety if you want a picture of yourself in front of a famous site. Luckily, due to the popularity of Myspace (and “Myspace Shots”) in high school, I’m pretty good at taking pictures of myself. Also, my aim has improved in such a way that I can usually get me AND the famous attraction in the shot at the same time. Very handy.

Getting home went very smoothly thank God, no problems at any of the 3 airports. Parents showed up to get me right on time. Santana’s was visited. All was right with the world

The jetlag is kind of getting to me, which is unusual cause it usually doesn’t affect me.

Uploaded some Rome and Paris pictures on my facebook; I’ll do some on flickr later. Also I’ll blog a longer and more thoughtful one here later when I have energy to process my thoughts :)
