There and Back Again

"Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not." -Ralph Waldo Emerson  

Oops!  I didn't forget about this blog, but I have just been swamped with law school craziness this year.  Seriously, it's been hard to remember to breathe, let alone eat and sleep too!

Now that I'm back from Europe (and back to this blog), I want to share a few pictures from my trip, which was incredible.

My brother Mark and me in front of the church 
where John Paul II was baptized.  Wadowice, Poland.

Market square at dusk.  Krakow, Poland.

Auschwitz II.  Oswiecim, Poland.

Paige, Katie, Mollie and me.  Lourdes, France.

Kira and me at the Love & Life Center.  Yeah, Vandy!
World Youth Day.  Madrid, Spain.

Breakin' it down with Angelle at the L'Angelus dance party at the Love &
Life Center.  World Youth Day.  Madrid, Spain.

Frannie and me at the Viva la Vida conference at El Círculo de Bellas
Artes.  Yeah, Vandy times two!  World Youth Day.  Madrid, Spain.

Mark and me onstage in front of 1.5 million people.
World Youth Day.  Madrid, Spain.

Stevo and me backstage with the (empty) pope-mobile.
World Youth Day.  Madrid, Spain.

I hope you get to visit or revisit these amazing places someday.  Especially Poland.  It's a beautiful country filled with faithful, loving people.  Such history, culture and courage.
