Happy Birthday to Me,
Happy Birthday to Me,
Happy Birthday to Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee,
Happy Birthday to Me.

Yes, 'tis that day, and my age can be represented by the same digit written twice. All I've got to say on that matter!

The trip was awesome, and it looks like I'll get to do some actual archaeological writing out of it. I'm a bit nervous about this, but also very much looking forward to it. I will blab more about the whole Italy experience, but suffice it to say for now that nothing much had changed in the small village where I was since my last visit.
