Swedish store windows are fun in a creepy way.

A New Adventure.

So, May was mostly an exciting, chaotic few weeks with my Norway and Sweden trip, family visits in Switzerland, my 22nd birthday, college graduation, and subsequent attempt and fail at a return to Europe.  Apparently we were all misinformed about the rules, and non-EU people can only stay for 3 months in all of Europe, not just one country.  So the passport control Belgian dudes sent me back to Chicago and that was that.  

For now I'm in North Carolina hanging out with family and figuring out what to do next....and the 85 degrees and sunny forecast for most days doesn't hurt. Or the prevalence of tasty barbecue and seafood (like what pizza is to New York City).
