Well, I'm back in dear old Music City now. Italy was great, although very exhausting! (We didn't really leave any empty space in the itenerary, so it was nonstop sightseeing.)

I am now trying to dig out from under a huge pile of messages and mini-crises at work, get caught up in my class, etc. This may mean that my blogging will still be a bit eratic over the next couple of weeks.

You can look forward to more about the trip -- I have over 3 GB of digital photos, movies, sound clips, etc. The digital camera took a beating, but it worked out great. It's going to take me some time to sort through all this stuff and post it online, but rest assured I'll let you know when I get around to it!
