Kicking it on the Continent

Apologies for the lack of regular updates recently. H and I have been perparing for our (now already realized departure) from Stockholm. We passed one full day in London--my first trip to the British Isles, if you can believe it. And now I'm typing this post sipping a French-style lemonade (sparkling water with lemon-flavored syrup) in Strasbourg, France. Photos to come... For those who aren't as familiar with my history, I lived in Strasbourg from September of 1999 until July of 2001. It was a transformative experience for me, and I'm delighted to be able to share the first city with which I fell in love with H.

We'll be in Alsace for two weeks, during which, if the weather cooperates, we'll visit a bit of the too-charming-for-words Routes des vins. In any event, we'll enjoy the wine. And the cheese. And, well, everything. After two delicious weeks in France, we head to Prague, Czech Republic, where H lived from August of 1997 until June of 2001. Yes, that's one whole month in two of the most magical cities in the world. You may envy us now.
