Well I am back to reality, sort of. My trip was amazing. Anyone who has facebook can see some of the pictures that I took. I think that I took over 200 pictures total. I can't believe that I saw the pyramids and walked on the same road that Paul walked on. I saw so many beautiful things. I really enjoyed traveling alone. I realized that when I see something that I think is truly beautiful I like to enjoy it just by myself so that I can fully take everything in.
I liked most of the places that I went. I did not like Romania. I decided that day not to go on tour and to walk around by myself. That was a big mistake. First of all the town was really horrible and there was nothing to do. Then some horrible people screamed horrible things at me. Then I went to the beach which happened to be topless and someone tried to spit on me. I do not like Romania. I was very surprised after this incident that the Ukraine and Bulgaria were much nicer places.
I was very lucky that I found some people to hang out with on the cruise. Of course they were all around 30, but at least they liked to close the bar every night. We were an odd mix. There were two Canadian guys who were professional poker players and had won the cruise in a tournament. Another guy was a nurse from Tennessee and was on the cruise for a convention. The other girl was Dutch and there with her rich parents. I don't think that any of us would have talked to each other in really life, but hey it worked when we were all stuck on a boat together. The nurse guy tried to hit on me for a few days. Then when I didn't respond much he left me for a woman twice my age that had a daughter my age. That was a little strange. Good thing I didn't want him anyway.
So now I am back to real life, well kind of. I start work 3 weeks from today. I keep trying to think that this isn't happening. I miss Chris a lot. He comes home from Japan today, so I will get to talk to him tomorrow. Leaving him after graduation was the hardest thing that I have ever had to do. I cried our entire last night together. It amazes me how much it still hurts being apart. I am glad that I left the country for awhile so I could try not to think about it. It was weird being in my house without him, because the last time I was home he came with me. I guess when people say you never forget your first love they are right.
