Well here I am...11:17 pm the night before the big trip. Tonight has been a whirl of picking out what clothes to pack, fitting in last minute cravings (like good Mexican food), and trying to make sure I don't forget anything!!
I couldn't be more excited to be going to Paris and Annecy!! Paris is pretty self-explanatory...It's Paris!! With amazing museums and fantastic buildings and history, it's easy to be overly excited for Paris itself with all the little cafes and need I say it...THE SHOPPING!! As the nerdy English Major that I am, I can't wait to go and sit at a cafe and just sit and write. (Don't expect anything great...I'm no Hemingway or Wilde!!)
But I am also so excited to visit Annecy. (If you haven't looked it up yet...Google it!!) It is a beautiful town about 40 km (25ish miles) from Geneva, Switzerland.
Well that's all I have for now!!

I am so proud of you. What a great opportunity to experience a different culture. Open your mind, immerse yourself and learn the language, absorb the history and culture. This "Grande Experience" will change your life!

So it must be such a "Grande Adventure" that you don't have time to write about it. That...or...we are wasting our money, it's not that "Grande", and you have nothing to write about. :(
ReplyDeletejust kidding! We love and miss you!
