Avignon + Pont du Gard + Uzès + Paris
This weekend was so wonderful. My BFs family is from the Suburbs of Paris. His younger brother just moved to Toulouse and with my BF in Antibes … his family is pretty far apart now.

A temporary goodbye to Marseille and France…
A few extra thoughts …. (found this draft on my wordpress dashboard and thought it was pretty eloquent. Figured I should share … ) I cannot believe that those seven months have passed this quickly.

my first (7 months) impression of France …
I wanted to give a quick summary of my personal journey over those 7 months that I spent in France and finish with a list of things that I have learned while there … When I arrived I was nervous excited.
