I’m home now, and as busy as ever catching up with friends, family, work and these blogs (as I’m sure was obvious by the sudden update of all of the rest of these.) But it’s great because I don’t have the time to miss France yet. We were told to watch out for reverse culture-shock, but I haven’t seen any of it yet. Yes we have an obscene amount of processed food items in stores and the roads and cars are ginormous, but it’s not a problem, it’s just different.
Maybe the fact that I’ve been welcomed home so thouroughly has made a difference. After I made it through security at the airport (with my suitcase this time,) I came through the doors and saw a bunch of people with names on signs (probably waiting for someone they hadn’t met yet) and thought “haha a sign would be so cool” for a split second before I headed to the doors to go find my family. On my way, I heard “Holly!” in the voice of Christine and she and my sister were there waiting for me with a sign! It was so cute!! I didn’t even know Christine was with my family! After we headed to my house where I delivered everyone’s gifts and then we headed out to dinner at Red Robin. What a happy occasion it was!
Thank you to everyone who’s put up with my grammar mistakes (science major, not English!) and read these stories – it’s been so much fun recounting my tales and I’m happy that it’s all documented so I’ll never forget my time in France! Take care!
Au revoir pour la dernière fois!
