you realize you've reached the heights of idiocy when: that camera battery and charger you left at home on your perfect tuscan vacation? the one you were sure you left plugged into the bedroom outlet? has actually been in some super secret pocket of your suitcase the whole time, the one you checked like 33 times, and you find it the night before you leave. BAH.

anyway, everybody else took billions of photos, so i shall pick and choose and violate copyright stuff to post theirs later. we are officially back home, and i have officially not gotten sleep in near 40 hours, and i am officially going to bed now. everything was lovely, but i'm glad to be back in the city.
