We are in our final days of this GSE adventure, with the program officially ending on the 17th. To sum it up, it was an incredible learning experience and a lot of fun was had, but it was also physically and emotionally draining. Even today during a tour of the 100th church during our stay (don't even get me started on the number of castles I've seen), my mind had checked out. With the last week remaining, the team definitely has the end in sight. However, my sights are set on Sean’s arrival, which is now in single digits in the countdown! He will arrive in just 9 days and I cannot wait! I’ve been here for almost 4 weeks now and feel completely exhausted and missing SF, however, the thought of his arrival changes everything. It will mark a whole new beginning for my time in Europe. I’m all smiles just thinking about it!
If you do the math, this leaves about 3 days between the end of my exchange and his arrival. I’m taking advantage of this time and have booked myself a bullet train to Paris (just over 3 hours from Frankfurt) and a backpacker hotel in the Montmartre district. My only expectations during these days are two-fold:
1) visit as many bakeries as possible, and
2) eat as many pastries as possible
I can only promise that I will try my hardest. Which is dependent on how far my broken French can take me. Let’s just hope I don’t get slapped across the face.
