I am home.
It is hot.
The trip was madness.
I want to sleep now.

Good wine is worth the ache. Dictionaries? I'm not so sure. But wine, definitely.

Oh and is it ever good wine.. straight from the winery in Moravia that has been working for the Archbishopric since the 13th century. I brought home a few bottles as presents and a couple for myself.

Well, you see, one can't find decent Czech/English dictionaries in America at reasonable prices. Barnes & Noble tried to sell me a crappy one for $75! But I bought some excellent ones for much much less. They just weigh a lot.

You are like the conquering hero, returned with spoils of victory. (While I can't quite picture Julius Caesar toting a Gaulish/Latin dictionary back to Rome, you can bet someone in his entourage did.) Your memories will long outlast the wine.

Hehe, the trick to that is to make the memories before you drink the wine... ;)

Yesterday, I was in dire need of a Sherpa for those bags. I just had so many books, the Customs Officer laughed at me.
