back in cph, down a computer

whew! i am back in copenhagen in one piece! what a whirlwind, what an amazing, memorable, enjoyable journey it was. i had a great time in all of the places i visited but was especially pleased with stockholm and manchester. of course i am thrilled that i was able to see gothenburg, helsinki, tallinn and riga (and a teeny bit of london) but i am glad to be settled in one place, doing laundry. although i managed to travel through seven countries in three weeks without a single hiccup such as a missed flight/bus/train, i arrived in copenhagen to discover that someone had broken into my host family's house last week (they were on vacation too) and stole several laptops, including mine. of course i left my computer here rather than bringing it with me to keep it safe! the police have been notified and the family has installed a new security system but i am devastated that i may have permanently lost my beloved computer-- it stored literally all of my music, photos, and everything i have written in the past three years. that and the amount of work i have to do this week are worrying me and of course i am exhausted from traveling as well. so, i will begin posting more about my travel break at a later date and who knows what i will do with the 800 pictures on my camera! fingers crossed for all of our stuff to be returned...eek!
