View of Salzburg.
Ever since Dan left, I have been feeling a little homesick.
I miss his company. I miss my friends and family. I long for my bed. Shopping for a new pair of pants, I wished I had more money to buy pretty clothes. I badly need a haircut--and a pedicure. My feet have never been in such a state. Today I saw some runners and wished I could join them. I want to sit in front of the television and not feel guilty about it.
It sort of feels like summer vacation and it is already August and while you don't exactly want to go back to school, it's a feeling of mentally preparing yourself for its coming and the anticipation for seeing your friends, having work to do, having some kind of schedule.
I have to admit, I am actually relieved that I feel this way. In the beginning of this trip, I was so sick and tired of my life that I was afraid that I would never want to go back. At the same time, I long for home, but I don't want it to be exactly the same. It can't be. I won't let it. And I am not ready to go home yet.
I still am here, and I still need to enjoy it.
Probably the coolest place I went in
On the other hand, I am not a big fan of my hostel. The girls in my room are not backpackers, rather British girls who took a cheap airline here for the weekend, and they think it okay to turn on the light at night and talk even though someone (that would be me) is sleeping (well, was sleeping). The girls both sat at my breakfast table and came on The Sound of Music Tour with me and completely ignored me, until we were all at a café during the tour and they couldn't stop looking and talking about my apple strudel. Finally, I offered one of them a bite. That prompted some mild conversation, but at that point, I didn't like them so it didn't matter.

Painted faces.

Your hair looks great.
Yvonne - we miss you too! Also - the wi-fi in my apartment is free with 98% uptime!
Squeen - that's a man's bowler hat painted on an egg. It *would* look fetching on Yvonne with her much more resilient skull - there I go again with the compliments!
I feel bad for the guy with no friends :(
