To cap it all off

I was searching for the perfect subject for my last post of my year in France. And then, “pow,” it hit me.

It was yesterday, my last day in Dijon. I was on my last run through the parc de la Colombiere, and just musing over the concept of time (and asking myself how the heck I made it through the year…) when a man passed me on a bike. Of course, he would have been just an ordinary man if it wasn’t for the cap he was proudly sporting. That’s right…a Boston Red Sox hat. I was floored. I mean, sometimes I see New York Yankees hats because French people think they are “in” (rappers wear them…) but NO ONE wears Red Sox hats. It was a sign. Boston was calling.

I am currently sitting in the Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport with exactly 2 hours left before my plane takes off, before I leave France, before I once again pick up where my life in the states left off. I know that there will be adjustment period, and of course feelings of sadness from the lack of French in my life. But I’m ready. I’m ready to settle back down, ready to end this rather crazy and life changing journey. I thank all of you for your support, and for reading my blog this year. I had such a fun time writing it…it was a great way for me to vent my anger, share my experiences, and express my happiness. Can’t wait to see all of you back in the good ole US of A,

Love and “gros bisous”
