I've been back for two weeks now and I thought I would take some time to write about my trip ! It was just amazing. This is one of the best things I've ever done ! No matter how much I love to travel, I always get terribly homesick when I'm abroad and I didn't feel homesick once there. There was just this one time after I left my group and was back

OMG! This is how I get homesick too! If I avoid thinking about family and the fact that they're not with me and I can't hug them etc, I'm usually okay while traveling, but as soon as I get on the phone with them I get super sad. To this day my mother is convinced that I spent every waking moment in Europe homesick and miserable because I would always be melancholy as soon as I got on the phone/skype with her. Obviously I was having tons of fun.
I didn't know that you were traveling alone--I've always thought that to travel alone would be so freeing. I almost went to Krakow by myself in 2009, but my plans fell through/conflicted with group plans to go to Ireland. Also, I know for a fact that my mother would freak out if I were to travel alone internationally, or even domestically (even though I went back and forth from Boston to London alone, and went to Ireland alone, and went from Barcelona to London alone too. I consider myself capable). Not that this will ever stop me. My mother is prone to worry.
Shirt required / No Food / No Guns
LOL--I am always amused by these too. It's like that joke on Community: "Vaughn doesn't ever wear shoes or a shirt. How has he not died from a lack of service?" XD
When I'm abroad, I love going to a grocery store and looking at the products !
Isn't this so much fun? I love going into grocery stores when I travel, too. It's fascinating.
I know everything about how to get into Harvard, student loans, classes, dorms...
asdfghjk It amuses me so much that you took the prospective students' tour. Love it :o)
People from Massachusetts like to joke that you can be standing on almost any public corner and will be able to see an ATM, a Dunkin Donuts, and a church at all times. I am still sad that our phones and Blackberry plotted against us! But you like Boston so much and I'm such a fan of France that we'll obviously get to hang out sometime in the future :o)
I am very much looking forward to seeing the rest of your photos! I should really post the photos I took at my sister's wedding two weeks ago.

Very often, I would think "if my Mom knew where I was right now..." meaning on the subway at midnight or on the subway in the middle of Brooklyn (on my way to JFK). She would have freaked out ! The worst was that she would be asleep when I was awake. It was a bit scary because if anything were to happen to me, she would be sleeping ! My Mom is very much prone to worry to so I can relate. On my way to Boston, I had to call her on my cell phone because she was freaking out. Apparently she hadn't heard from me for hours ! I was just sleeping ! lol
I miss American grocery stores ! I miss bagels so very much ! Also, we bought a brand of crackers and they were delicious ! I can't find them in France :(
Dunkin Donuts ! I had a chocolate donut from DD before leaving Boston :) I had to ! By the way, have you ever been to that place : http://phopasteurboston.net/ ? That's where my friends took me after finding out I never had any real Vietnamese food before.
It's your turn to come to France now !
YOUR SISTER GOT MARRIED ? That's so great ! Congrats ! Does that mean you went to Chicago again ? I really want to see the pictures you know !
