moving out

wow!
i have been back in france for 2.5 weeks already! after one day of laundry and relaxation i rented a car with holly and sadie.

day 1: we visited blois, chambord and a campground where sadie used to work
day 2: we drove around the perche! discovering the countryside around nogent.
day 3: we drove to mont st michel, st malo, and rennes. we went out with some friends in rennes -- we had to take advantage of a night in a big city!
day 4: we visited the rennes farmers market and drove back to nogent.

then we worked for 1.5 weeks. yep, yesterday was my last day of work. today we are celebrating may day with the french people who aren't working. national holiday, you know?! today i move out of the foyer, tomorrow i go to paris, this weekend i will be in dublin (visiting petr, marija, and adam), then i will finally go back to aix-en-provence (where i went to school - aka played hard for a year - three years ago), then i'll visit sabrina and antonin in lyon. finally, i'll head back up to paris to see the city of love for the last time. with my love, sheena. sunday, may 11, i will meet my parents at charles de gaulle and we will spend a week together in france!!! yay! we will visit the loire valley chateaux, the perche region, brittany and normandy. they will meet some of my friends and try some of my favorite foods here. on may 17 we will go back to charles de gaulle for the return flight. not sure how i am feeling about that yet.....

i hope to see all of you before too long. this summer i'll be in baraboo, but you never know when i'll skip the country again. so come visit!! i'd love to take some friendly bike rides!

pura vida,
