Our 24-hour oddessy to get home ended last night at 7:30pm PST (4:30am CET). Our trip home was a blur of white-knuckle backseat driving in France (lentment, s’il vous plait!), 10am beer in Frankfurt, reading “Tales of the City” on the leg from Frankfurt to DC, and then a rotating cycle of vomiting and sleeping on the DC to Seattle leg of the trip. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I used a barf bag. Weirdest thing though? The stewardess refused to dispose of it. Basically I just sat there with my bag through the entire flight. How delightful! Just one of the beautiful moments of the last month!

But we’re home home home. Not sure if I would have planned a month-long couch surfing tour of Europe for our honeymoon, but that’s what we got, and the trip certainly had its highlights.

Here’s one for you. That’s a 6mb .avi movie file of Andreas and I paddling our way up the Gorge du Verdon in France. [UPDATE: The video file has been removed to free up some space on my server -- sorry folks!]
