and so I return to the Western Hemisphere

Just finishing our stay in Sayn, chillin with Princess Alexander, Princess Gabriella, and family. It's been a pretty eye-opening experience living with them and hearing all the history that surrounds their family. I won't go into too much detail as I have to eat before our plane leaves, but they own this entire museum (former palace) dedicated to preserving their family's memory, in addition to a castle/tower/restaurant, and abbey etc. And despite being from a completely different walk of life as me, they are all incredibly down to earth and nice people. They really LOVE the Kroks. like...they all know the choreo and do it with us. and give us performance critiques after each show. can't say i understand it but it is nice to have. it's great to feel a part of a family for a few days when we're away from our own for so long.

a note on Princess Sophia. she looks like nicole kidman. i explained "exquisitie" and told her that since NKids hasnt been looking so stellar lately i would expand the term to include her as well. she laughed and continued to puff on her cigarette and be fabulous.

now we're off to buenos aires, 2 iberia flights away. pray for me?
so ready to go home.

also, i think i have the black lung. i've been coughing up a storm for the past few weeks. I thought it might just be due to the constant climate change but it's pretty relentless. ah well...can't have everything. i'll have 2 weeks to get healthy before school starts.
