Packing


So, there it is folks, the majority of my life for the next three months, all in one big suitcase. I can barely even sit still without thinking about what it's going to be like living in Normandy for so long, and needless to say, I'm so excited! It's about time, but the nerves are starting to go away, and now I'm ready to start this adventure. Who knows what's going to happen in France, after all, where they speak the language of love and dine on world-famous food on a daily basis? Ok, so maybe that's a bit of stereotyping, but I'm sure it's going to be a fantastic experience, and I think I have everything I need right here in this, er, little suitcase. I leave Tuesday and probably won't have much to write until Wednesday, when I'm getting in at Charles de Gaulle. Hopefully, somewhere between CDG and St. Lazare, the train station whence I'll be departing for Caen, I'll have time to commemorate my first day in France by snagging a nice croissant et un chocolat...ou quelque chose comme ça! Until then, happy Labor Day to all my American friends, and hopefully you'll hear from me again soon!
