two a day.

post number two today.

i have never appreciated owning a bike so much as i do now. europe is full of walking. theres the occasional tour bus, but honestly, who has enough money to go on tours every day? theres even a lane for bikes on the street. renting a bike is also an option, since not that many tourists can afford to have their bike shipped to paris. they come with flashing lights and lovely reflective tape so airplanes can spot you from the sky.
i saw a smartcar today, except it wasnt the normal kind. this own looked like a sports convertable; it was low to the ground and was actually smaller than the typical smartcar you see in the streets. my moms Sienna could probably run over it.

im heading home tomorrow; ive been away for so long that its hard to remember what living normally is like. everything was done for you on the cruise. my friends and i left an empty plate in a corner on the staircase. five minutes later when we came back, it was gone. getting proffesional photos was fun. being crazy. adults walked by shaking their heads while muttering "teenagers..." home will be a drastic change from the past 3 weeks.
