Hey Clare,
Welcome back. How are things these days? Let me know if you have plans to be in Van and want to hang.

What are... these... words... It's almost as though you wrote something in your blog.

You don't want to visit the Vatican? It's real purdy, you know. And there are some hilarious items to purchase in the gift shops...
yaaaaaaaaaaaay! You've made my day very happy! Sitting here in a surreal trailer park, getting a glimpse of what I can only assume is the Matterhorn in the 'happiest place on earth' down the block, but surrounded by extreme poverty and a surprising lack of the english language all around me. An odd contrast here - gotta take my happy pill when I walk through the front gates tomorrow!!!!
I can't believe you do not want to kill and eat an animal. And Jess, that is so tacky, to visit the Vatican for the gift shop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ha ha - Erica, *I* visited the Vatican to take it all in because I love religions and all things religious. For real. Hence my graduate studies in medieval literature and religion. I was just trying to think of a reason that Clare would want to visit!
