Maybe in two months from now, I will laugh at my decision to be an au pair after an internship and graduating.  However, at the moment, I'm taken aback by what a young, naive, and rash decision this was. But I guess that is what your 20's are for; discovering your strengths, weaknesses, likes, comforts, slightly stretchable boundaries, no crossing zones, and engaging in thought processes/journeys that would be too risky for a middle age person.

Man, its funny how similar we are even though we aren't talking anymore.  That was one of the hardest friendship break-ups of my life.

After visiting the Roman baths in Trier, and others in previous trips to Italy and Greece, i have come to the conclusion that everyone should have access to big bath tubs because they are conducive to positive mental health.

 And the little Viking for good measure...
