		<title>The Saga Isn&#8217;t Quite Over Yet&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hello all!
We are all back in America!  And I assume that everyone else has made it back successfully, because I have faith in Mrs. Crowley&#8217;s driving.  However, I have a slightly different schedule for myself&#8230;that just got a lot more iffy.
Because I was supposed to start work on the 24th, I planned on flying directly [...]]]></description>

		<title>so many shows!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, &#8220;Avenue Q&#8221; was awesome. We were really close to the stage and it was a pretty small theatre to begin with, and the cast was great. Even more surprisingly, the audience was great, too&#8211;it was a pretty young crowd (which is good, because most older people would probably have walked out after the first [...]]]></description>

		<title>to appease my mother</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My mom complained that I haven&#8217;t been posting, so here it is!
I am, like everyone else, enjoying the trip. I&#8217;m pretty sure I enjoyed the Tent more than everyone else combined, but I&#8217;ve also been known to sleep outside a lot so that&#8217;s not really unexpected. Amsterdam was&#8230;an experience. It&#8217;s an awesome city and the people [...]]]></description>

		<title>we&#8217;re still theatre kids</title>
		<description><![CDATA[During our last day in Amsterdam, we went to the Heineken Experience (a few of you should have gotten video email things from there) just to be dorky college-aged Americans&#8211;plus, you know, it was only 10 euro, and you got three beers non-alcoholic beverages and a &#8220;free gift&#8221;&#8211;a really nice bottle opener in a plastic [...]]]></description>

		<title>I&#8217;m So Good at This</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Number of postcards written and addressed: 5
Number of postcards sent: 0
 
That&#8217;s right everybody. Seriously though, this is the best I&#8217;ve ever done with postcards. The one I wrote in Florence was the first one to get past having a person&#8217;s name written on the address line. I swear, next time I see a post office [...]]]></description>

We are, however, staying in the red light district here in Amsterdam, which seemed a little sketchy at first but has turned out to be pretty nice, for a few reasons:
1) Our tour guide (more on that later) assured us that it is the safest part [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So, yesterday, all of our running around finally caught up to us, and by the time we got to the Tent we crashed for a few hours. I have a cold, which is really fun, and meant that yesterday we spent a long time looking for cough drops&#8211;long enough that we compiled a list of

		<title>The Tent</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We have arrived in Munich, after a night of traveling in an overnight train in our own couchette compartment.  I hadn&#8217;t actually expected to get our own room, so that was a pleasant surprise.  Then, we had to navigate the Munich Tram system, which was harder than it sounds.  I think we bought excess ticket [...]]]></description>

		<title>the sinking city</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Let me preface this by saying that I really like Venice: It&#8217;s vibrant, beautiful, full of culture&#8211;
It is also sinking.
Not metaphorically, either. It is literally sinking, which we know thanks to a) science and b) the fact that St. Mark&#8217;s square is presently flooded. Large portions of it are about 3-6 inches deep in water, [...]]]></description>

		<title>fun sleeping arrangements, etc.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So today was our last full day in Florence, and I spent most of it sitting, because my foot has decided not to function.
Yesterday was more interesting. We went to the market, a church, and&#8230;climbed the Duomo. In doing that, I discovered that France is not the only country whose tourism policy consists of luring [...]]]></description>

		<title>it has been awhile!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hello from Florence, where we have returned to the amazing qwerty keyboard!
The last few days have been pretty hectic, and there was no internet cafe nearby our hotel in Lyon, hence the lack of updates, sooo&#8230;here we go!
On our last full day in Paris, we started out by going to Sacre Coeur, which was right [...]]]></description>

		<title>South Spain</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I´m in an internet café right now, where it is again easy to do fun little squiggles above various letters.  I´m currently waiting for Esther to get off of work, but in the meantime, I thought I´d update this again (who would have thought?).
South Spain is fantastic.  I spent a week in North Carolina this [...]]]></description>

		<title>Waiting in Spain</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am currently sitting in a bus station in Girona, Spain, waiting for my bus to get here.
I am on my small side trip to visit my friend Esther right now, which involved getting up at 5 AM when we´d gone to sleep less than 4 hours before (college kids up talking about stuff?  Surely [...]]]></description>

		<title>le sigh</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So I wrote this great entry last night about Paris, but you&#8217;ll never see it&#8211;the computer deleted it. Ergh.
Here is a brief summary:
1. Yesterday we walked for a really long time&#8211;from our hotel on the northern outskirtsish of Paris all the way down to the Champs Elysees. For the record, it is a three-hour walk or [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It didn&#8217;t aid my sleep though, so I put on the relaxation channel, which sounded like those nature sounds tapes they used to sell all over the place&#8211;the ones with the sample station. As a kid I had one of whale migration noises&#8230;or maybe it was mating noises; I don&#8217;t remember.
The bus ride from Manchester [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;um, i have some bad news&#8230;&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, of all the stuff we each brought&#8211;in my case, about 3100 cubic inches&#8217; worth&#8211;there were really only 3 things that were really important&#8211;things that couldn&#8217;t be foregone or just bought in Europe&#8211;our passports, plane tickets, and eurail passes.
Inevitably, one of us would forget one of those things. Almost as inevitably, that person was me.

		<title>I&#8217;m feeling better already!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;re leaving in three hours, and I am suddenly a little apprehensive!
Hmm, what a strange feeling.
So, I decided to think about what everybody else is probably nervous about, because it&#8217;s much funnier than my nerves (which have sadly been compounded by the 3480234 cups of coffee I&#8217;ve had this morning):
Cameron: That I will kill him [...]]]></description>

		<title>Last Minute Details</title>
		<description><![CDATA[No matter how prepared you are, you always have something to do at the last minute.  Whether it&#8217;s photocopying your passport or cleaning your clothes, something seems to crop up.  It&#8217;s the same with me this morning, which is the only reason I&#8217;m up at 8 AM.
I&#8217;ve just finished finalizing all of my plans, because [...]]]></description>

* Cash checks for the housing account, so we can sleep places
* Pack for Europe
* &#8230;pack for college
* Clean out my car
* Pack my car
&#8230;um, no problem.

		<description><![CDATA[It struck me as odd yesterday that packing wasn&#8217;t difficult at all. You would think that cramming everything one needs for a three-week trip into something small enough to carry on your back the entire time would be at least somewhat challenging. It really makes me appreciate how much space my electronics usually take up. [...]]]></description>

		<title>T-minus 2 days: Packing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, it turns out that packing a medium-sized backpack for a 24-day trip is a little trickier than I expected.
I made a pretty detailed list a few weeks back of things that I a) needed and b) can carry, though I&#8217;m throwing that whole &#8220;backpacks should only weigh 15% of your body weight&#8221; rule to [...]]]></description>
