Well, I'm leaving again. I'll spend the next four days cooking and leading worship at kid's church camp, and then I'm off to Europe.
I think I'm excited about this, but I'm still working on it. I'm mostly not excited about the 14-hour plane ride. Surely it won't be that bad... :)
Well, I'll have to give you all updates on Austria and Germany when I return, but bye for now, and have a good 2 or 3 weeks. :)

Back...
Well, I survived the trip. I'm sure you're all glad to know that... :) We got in last night a little before midnight.
Thanks for the prompt Dr. Kluthe. :) Let's see...
As for the most impressive, I think I would have to say it was the ocean, once again. I've seen it several times before, but every time I'm overwhelmed by it's size and power. As you stand on the beach and stare out at it, it's endless, and the waves come in with amazing strength, though it seems there's nothing to make them.
There were so many memorable moments on this trip. I don't think I can pick just one. The theme parks we visited were great, as well as the beach. I think maybe the best part was just the time I got to spend with my closest friends.
One of the most interesting experiences was living with10 other people plus the baby in the home of people I'd never met. It wasn't the best or worst part, but probably the most interesting. I feel I'm a little more cultured just for surviving it and maintaining a fairly postive attitude, at least it was positive for me. If I can share one bathroom with 8 other people for 10 days, I can do anything. :)
The worst part... I'm not really sure there was a worst part. Most of it ranged somewhere between awesome and mediocre. Maybe the worst was sitting in a barely-ventilated, claustrophobia-causing airplane on the runway for over an hour yesterday. It wasn't near as bad as I make it sound. I was in and out of consciousness for the duration of the wait, as I slept all of four and a half hours the night before.
I must say that if I ever travel with friends again, or anyone for that matter, an 8 day trip would be my idea of perfection. Though I love my friends dearly, by the end of the eighth day, I was beginning to get a little frustrated. I've decided that I can survive and maintain the good attitude for about 8 days, but after that I need some alone time, which none of us got any of on this trip.
Overall, I can't really say I have anything to complain about. It was a great trip, aside from it's many bugs. I've learned by now to expect those on any trip, especially with the people I went with. I think we're becoming known for our gliches and bugs, but hey, they only make it more fun, right?
Well, I gotta go change loads of laundry. Fun stuff. :) I guess that's what I get for leaving. There's always work to be done when I come back. :) Bye to all, and thanks for reading. :)
