The ongoing saga

How things change and how they stay ever the same.  I am now in Austria. Ireland was epic,  and Greece was perfect for my rest and relaxation.  It was the vacation part of this trip.  To be entirely honest,  it grows tedious.  I think mainly because I have left the English speaking countries behind.  Even just going to the grocery store is difficult,  because everything is in German.  Which would be translatable if I had a phone that worked, but it requires WiFi. For instance,  I bought the wrong kind of cheese today simply because I couldn't read it.
So, I think the long and short of it is,  I'm homesick.  I still have 2 and a half more weeks in countries that don't speak English.  Germany,  Hungary,  Romania,  and France.  Luckily I'll get a break from it all when I meet up with Carolyn and Matt, and Derek and Jina.

It's been great though.  Such an adventure,  meeting interesting people.  A reiteration to find joy in the process not the end result.

When I get back,  will you tell me to come home?  I'm sick of exile.
