There and back again.

I'm not confident that anyone still follows this blog, but if any of you do, I'm back in the old U.S. of A. Liz (my girlfriend) got pretty sick and was hospitalized. I rushed back from Berlin as soon as was financially possible. I don't want to go into detail about it here, but suffice to say, although it was serious enough for me to travel across a quarter of the earth, (and I would travel a thousand times that distance again) she is recovering quickly, fortuitously. I'm glad to be home. I still have a lot of updates on my trip to post, but I'm too pressed with other things at the moment to post them. If you can exercise patience, I will continue to update this blog with the last leg of my trip (with photos!) when the chance arises. For now, I have some personal issues to attend to. I hope you understand, loyal readers.
