don't wake me if i'm dreaming

flowers and raspberries from the farmer's market, a greek's reunion, a charming outdoor wedding complete with readings from the velveteen rabbit and the little prince, free coffee and a counting crows and weezer sing-along on the drive to lake michigan, being behind the wheel of a car for the first time in 11 months... i think it's starting to sink in. people are still speaking english, and i haven't ridden a bus or train for 3 whole days. the supermarkets here are larger than some small towns in germany--and definitely open later than most people are awake there... i might actually be home--for real!!!
