it's almost over

So it's almost over.  I leave in 4 days.  It's been crazy, fun, and most of all, exhausting.

It's definitely summer now.  It's almost 80 outside, which is about as hot as it gets here, and the sun hasn't really set in several days.  It gets a little less bright out but it doesn't really get dark anymore.  They say that this winter was the coldest here in over 20 years, and the warm weather the past 2 weeks is unusually hot for this time of the year.  All the snow melted, and within 4 days, everything was green.  Just thought I'd post some pictures for y'all.


First, this is a rullakebab.  It's a huge tortilla shell that's stuffed with meat, lettuce, cucumber, mozzarella, and lots of kebab sauce, and rolled up like a burrito.  They cost 8 euros, but considering it's all I'll eat for an entire day because of how big they are, that's not too bad.
That's 2 200g chocolate bars end to end, and still not as big as the kebab.

and these next four pictures were taken at midnight, 1:30, 3:00, and 4:30
