Today I arrived back in the Tragic City. Never before have I been so sad to return home from a trip. I say without exaggeration that my time in Europe was better than I could have possibly imagined. I'm so thankful for the opportunity to have seen many wonderful things and to have met such lovely people. As I told Martin in an e-mail, I was quite sad by the time I got to Düsseldorf.
