Getting Settled and Saying Goodbye

Today is Sunday in Roma. Come to think of it, I guess it's Sunday in America as well, just not as late... Katie left Europe today, and fittingly it rained as she departed. We barely made it to the airport in time, and I'm not even positive she made it on the flight. Last I saw, she was sprinting off with some guy from American Airlines. I think he took care of her, which is a relief.

I'm back at the Residence, waiting to use the stove to cook a hot dog. I don't know how interesting the blog will be if Katie isn't here. I'll update it with pictures of weekend trips, but I don't think I'll update it daily. I can call people more easily now, so I'll try and catch up with some people on the phone...

Some roomates and I are headed to the Hard Rock Cafe to watch Game 7 of the Cavs vs. Celtics playoff series. Should be a good time, I miss American sports a ton...

As a "sign-off" for the trip with Katie, I think I'm going to upload a ton of photos of stuff we saw, stuff we loved, stuff we hated, stuff that made us laugh, stuff that confused us... Enjoy the pics, thanks for reading, pray for Katie's safe travel.

this was taken as we were wandering around Rome, it was a sweet street, and we kept trying to take a picture with Katie on my back, but since we had no one to take the picture, we settled for this pose

my wingspan = a smart car

katie and I at la piazza di san pietro (st. peter's square)

Under the Arc de Triumph in Paris... Derf asked who's Triumph it was celebrating, I heard some British people talking about Napoleon, so I'm gunna go ahead and assume they were right

This is St. Michel church, just up the river from Notre Dame.

Me and the pretty girl found a stranger to take our picture on a bridge over the Seine

This is Katie and a moose... or a deer... or an elk... She asked me not to put this picture online... sorry katie :) I had to

our good friend Mona

For a short while, Katie and I posed like statues for fun
