the ships have come

So I managed to leave blogging to the end of my 60 minutes of internet. Of course.
At any rate, this is the last blog you’ll be receiving from the other side of the Atlantic…Today is Friday and I leave Wednesday. We’ll just let it go without saying how incredibly weird that is. After the homesickness/wanting to go home that came halfway through, I am now kind of accustomed to being in Europe and whatnot, so it’s definitely going to be a change to return to the States. That said, living out of a suitcase and moving is overrated (or appropriately rated lowly). Sometimes it’s nice to just chill at home, and I am excited to again have a home to chill at.

Right now I am in Strasbourg (although this time tomorrow I will be back in Paris… Yes, I know, already spent a month there, but I love it so I just can’t stay away). If you are up on Europe at Christmastime, you’ll know that Strasbourg is one of the places to be…decked out in lights and festive decorations and markets brimming with ornaments and vin chaud (not really a fan though). Pretty fabulous (apart from the rain and occasional wind).

Also, I love Strasbourg…well I seem to have loved most places I have been lol. But in spite of the inevitable innundation of tourists at this time of year, there are still a lot of students, which is cool. And being so close to Germany there is a lot of architecture similar to the Bavarian style. Leavenworth anyone? Slash it’s definitely cooler when it’s authentic

Anyway, next time we chat it’ll be from the same (or closer) time zone!
