"I can feel them flying like a hand out the window in the wind . . ."
But seriously, I could do with a dose of Keith Urban's "yeah it's all we've been given, so you better start livin' right now. Cuz day's go by."
Right now my life basically consists of the Museum of Russian Icons (with a little GC thrown in there), which is great, but I left all of my lovely readers in Italia! For that, Dad, Aunt Jo Ann, Grandma+Grandpa, Uncle Bill+Aunt Debbie, Rachel, Jess+Amanda and everyone else, I am sorry. And I have an explaination. After my last post on day 14 of the trip, my class and I departed for Florence. Oh! Florence was wonderful! Then, immediately after that, the class split up and went to spend a weekend on our own at the location of our choice. In my case, that was Rome! Wonderful! On the other hand, I had so much to write about after that long weekend and so many pictures to upload and post, that I never got caught up. I continued to write little short-hand notes at the end of each day (until the last week got too crazy), but I didn't want to post them out of order!
What I'm trying to say is: Don't give up on me! The posts exist, they're just not ready for publishing yet. I promise to try and post all those missing days as soon as I can.
Love from Julie, the workin' girl
