Where do you even start talking about how much I miss Europe? I was there for nearly 8 months, 222 days and not a day goes by where I’m not tempted to go to the airport and catch a last minute flight back.
Don’t get me wrong: it’s great to be back and see friends, and family but a part of me is still in Europe. I really do think I will end up living over there. And if I ever get the chance to go back (fingers crossed sooner than later) I’ll be there in a heartbeat.
It has been 1 month and 11 days since my return and it’s been a whirlwind of seeing friends, becoming a brunette, going camping, enjoying home cooked meals and travelling to Michigan to see Petey and Ohio to see the crazy famjam. Ironically enough, I am not home all that often. Hmm.
I think the things I miss most about Europe are the means of transportation which are just so damn effective, the food, the fantastic wine, and the adventures. Everywhere you go you meet new people, hear great stories, and can walk for hours, becoming incredibly lost and I have never been happier. It’s wonderful. I loved getting lost. And considering I am not the best with a map…that was common.
Mind you, it’s nice having a hair dryer, proper internet access and a dryer for the clothes, but those are just things a bonus. But I miss my apartment in Lille, I miss walking the cobblestone streets. I miss the fresh bread, and the smell of pastry in the morning. Also, I miss my ladies. A ton.
Thank goodness for technology though eh: between facebook and the good ol blackberry messenger, the Storm Troopers 167 group stays in touch almost every day.
We are planning the reunion for summer 2011 in NYC. Stay tuned.
NYC has no idea what they are in for…excellent. Let the countdown begin.
