It is Christmas day. After spending a wonderful week at home with Rob, mom, and dad, I am off again. This time, I am en route to Paris - the city of love, romance, fashion and home to some of the greatest pieces of art known to mankind. I am not sure what I am expecting from my four-month European adventure, but I think what I want is just to relish in this transition period. The next four months represent maybe the last time in my life where I am completely carefree. I would like to take this opportunity to do some (actually a lot of) self-reflection, to learn about and delve myself into a new culture and hopefully try to improve my French while I’m there. Moreover, I want to see how I cope with traveling on my own. I have done a lot of traveling in my life, but I have always had someone there with me. This will be a whole new experience for me and I’m excited to see how I am able to handle it.
I will do my best to write daily entries (with photos) so you can follow me throughout my trip. At the moment, I am sitting on the airplane with an empty seat beside me. We just got served dinner and I had the chicken with steamed rice that was served to me cold. I put it aside and just ate the fruit, bread roll and walnuts that mom packed for me. Three more hours and I should be arriving at JFK. Stay tuned for tomorrow’s entry as I excite you with how I spend fourteen hours in an airport terminal awaiting my flight to Iceland! ☺ Sweet dreams!
Love, Alexis
