I will never climb 1,000+ stairs again...

My weekend in Koln, Germany was awesome. The trains went smoothly this weekend and my time with the girls was much needed.
We arrived on Friday and got a wonderful dinner of white sausage, pretzels, sweet mustard, and Kolsch. We hit up a few bars in Koln and met some Germans throwing a bachelor party. I also must mention my time with Eva on the floor of the Marriott was magical ;) On Saturday we got up and went to the most beautiful Cathedral in the world. We climbed over 1,000 steps that day, and I shan't forget it. My legs were shaking for the next two hours. We did some shopping and then took a nap before our big night out. We went to a club and danced the night away until I almost got in a fight with a German. Fuck language barriers. I have pledged to learn French and German before I die!!!! I swear, I will do this!!! I had some of the best talks ever with Megan, Erin, Jess, Eva, and Joyce this weekend, only confirming how intelligent and wonderful my friends are. I love you girls, you saved me this weekend.
Obviously this has been a rough week for me. I know I have tons of love in my heart, but I don't know how far that can take someone. I really want to be close to you, I do.
"Thinking of you, wherever you are..."
This week should be nice. Back to work tomorrow. But on Wednesday, their is an emergency meeting of world leaders in Brussels to discuss the financial crisis. I'll give Paulson my regards for you all...Eva and Megan both have friends here this week, so Thursday should be legendary. And then I am off to Berlin with Cassie!!!
I hope I have enough soul-power...
Peace...
