return from THE annual retreat

my annual retreat is over..... i think that the trip could definitely be recap in a couple of blogs...involving keywords such as:
lost...
parisians...
train rides...
backpain...
biking...
rollers...
charbonnel...
cute foreign men...
charlie chaplin...
sun/rain...
primary schoolmates...
venison...
why...
flat/black/fat...

but i think i would need quite some time before i could sit down and recap my annual retreat in words.... to get this re-cap started.... my impression of europe (from my trip back in 2001) is quite different from the impression i had felt this time....still trying to figure out the 'why' and 'what'... meanwhile, my flickr page has some of the trip in photo format...(for anyone or no one who is interested)
