I have to laugh.   I can’t cry.   My flash on my Nikon bulb flashed it’s last flash.  Nothing to do with the previous issues of anything.   Just the way things are.  I’ll have to go this trip without.

I was able to go to a friend of a friend of Simona’s and buy a used Nikon battery and charger for about $30 USD.   This was great.  It works, I have three batteries instead of two and have a European charger to boot!   Awesome!

I need to read more about my new video camera.  Simona wants me to video the children tomorrow.

Reading at night is so difficult when your head is hitting the pillow in exhaustion and the light in the room is so dim for reading.   I’ll try, it is doubtful I’m successful though.
