Monday Stuff On the Way to Other Stuff: Madrid/Paris/Amsterdam

     Days after we got home late Wednesday night, we're finally starting to feel like ourselves again. (And we mostly sleep through the night. Sort of.) This traveling in three different countries, with three different languages, was harder than I'd thought. But worth it.

People who are done helping others out -- and for good reason.
