This will be the final post of this blog.
As everyone (hopefully) knows, I have returned to the states successfully, alive and well and happy.
Well, mostly happy. I want to be back in Europe, still traveling. I can say without a doubt that this trip was the most life changing experience I have ever had, and I have become a new man because of it. My whole outlook on life has been widened, improved. Things here in the states have a new look to them, and I feel some weird feelings as I have started returning to my regular haunts. It's like being in a familiar place for the first time again.
I know that I will return to Europe someday. And probably someday soon. I have caught the travel bug, and I don't EVER want to get rid of it.
I would like to thank everyone who read my blog, both the folk who subscribed to my postings, and to the casual observers. You guys were a nice link to home, and knowing that I had people who followed what I was doing and were interested in my thoughts and feelings throughout was just about the best cure for homesickness I could think of. Thank you all for your patience and comments, and even you advice on neat things to see.
This trip would have been much less fun without this blog.
My final words are going to be a piece of advice. I would encourage every single person to do something like this, a trip alone to a foreign land, at least once in their lifetime. I know that I have changed in innumerable ways, and I believe these changes are only for the better.
Thanks again, everyone, and happy November!

P.S. - Now what are you all going to do without my witty and amazing post-scripts?
