"He's got the crazy legs!"

Crazy best last weekend of my life in America.

Friday night was "last night" for all my friends. Braden, Michelle and I went out to eat at Cunetto's: an authentically delicious Italian restaurant in the mob-hustling part of St. Louis known as The Hill.



Needless to say, it was delicious, and we left with buckets of leftovers.

Following dinner we stood mesmerized in front of a fountian in the Central West End, following which we met Andy and Charlie at Bailey's Chocolate Bar for some deserty goodness.

Saturday was the Avett Brothers in Carbondale, Illinois. It was worth the terrifying 3 hour-back country road-getting lost that happened on the way there. It was the best concert of my life. The way Seth Avett moves in his legs is awe-inspiring.




Sunday we had the Koebbe family birthday celebration at my house, and I stayed up really late and finished packing, etc. Then I fell asleep and four hours later I woke up to go to the airport.

I arrived in D.C. for my six-hour layover waiting for the connecting flight to Vienna. Zack met me at the airport and proceeded to give me a whirlwind walking tour of our nations fine capitol! Here are some pictures, in case you don't believe me.
Washington Monument, duh.

This is where it all happens. Or doesn't happen, as it were... The Capitol Building! (Sorry I didn't rotate it so it wouldn't be sideways)

I don't know who this is, but he was surrounded by lions.


It doesn't matter if you're from D.C.; when you're holding a map you always look like a tourist.

Then we went to the Museum of Natural History where we were charged at by this giant elephant:

The lady at the security counter really liked my necklace.

My last meal in America was Red Robin. Fitting? Pictures:

Then, after a long, sleepless flight over an ocean, I watched the sunrise over Europe as I flew over France, and I thought about how jet-lagged I was (I still am).


Here's my hotel room in Vienna:

I'll post more later. Right now I need to go walk around to keep myself from falling asleep too early. I've been awake for 24 hours, but the rules of avoiding jet-lag are not sleeping until the night times. Boo.
