I Am A Standing Ovation

I just got back from Basel for the weekend. It was nice visiting my grandparents and spending Saturday afternoon hanging with Chung. My grandparents and Chung are the more or less the only two things that are real for me over here, or better said, they are all I have. So it was just a nice break from these last two weeks back in Luzern. Before I left Basel this morning I took a walk down to the Rhine and sat in the sun for an hour. It was awesome, and made me thankful the opportunity to have experienced it. Yes, some days I do wake-up to the awesome reality that I live in Europe.

I'm back in Luzern, and suffering from some crazy lower-back pain. There is sun outside my window and expansive blue skies, but it's cold outside. I can't wait for Spring and then Summer. I was given advice over breakfast, something about me staying a little while after my contract is up to travel Europe. I don't know. It would be cool, and I really have nothing to hurry home for. Amsterdam, Budapest, Vienna, St.Petersburg, Barcelona, and maybe Monaco again? Let me know who is up for it. I wouldn't be going on these trips alone. The Summer of The Blog. You know you're thinking about it...
