I'm currently waiting for a flight in the Greenville airport, about to head back to Europe with the family in tow.  We'll be in Italy for about ten days before I go back to Paris for my second semester.  Not sure what internet access will be like in Italy, but the silence here may continue for a while.  It has been a lively break, and though I failed to make it to a Waffle House, I did manage to squeeze in fried chicken, cheese grits, general home cooking, a chocolate malt, and some American cinema.  Thanks to everyone who had me as a guest, and if you were my guest it was lovely having you.

See you guys on the other side of the pond.  Here are some photos from the break.  Happy 2009!
