Here Comes The Rain Again
I hope you all enjoyed the pictures that have been posted over the last several days. It's given me the opportunity to organize my own memories of the trip and to recall some of the fleeting moments that can get lost in the shuffle. Like the memory of sitting at a cafe near Place de St. Michel and watching a street musician methodically set up his guitar and amp. Or the memory of pigeons flying over the Berliner Dome against a darkening sky. Before I left, I thought this would be a once-in-a-lifetime trip, never to be repeated. But now, I'm pretty confident that I'll return to Europe in a few years, either back to Paris or someplace new. Rome definitely sounds appealing and I've heard great things about Spain. And if I feel really ambitious, perhaps I'll try making it to Sydney. The world's a big place, but not those distant places are not as far out of reach as I once thought.
Last night's severe weather in the Twin Cities, which included the touchdown of a F2 tornado, is dominating the news around here. Of course, it all seems trivial compared to the imminent touchdown of Hurricane Rita. Stay safe, everyone.
