foreign and familiar

here are a few snapshots from my trip to europe earlier this month. my friend john flew over from athens and met me for a portion of the trip (paris, geneva and berlin), which made traveling abroad for work infinitely more exciting. (and yes, i apologized to him profusely for my travel anxiety...) take a gander!
