After a week away, we're back in Basel. Or at least I'm back in Basel, and Gretchen and Grady are finally here also. It was a good week back in the States--great to get caught up with friends and family, although a little strange to be seeing people so soon after saying goodbye! The flight back was a nightmare for Gretchen (turbulence that evidently caused everyone around her to start puking), but we're all here safe and sound and VERY eagerly awaiting the arrival of our worldly possessions.
