Its kind of sad when that I don’t leave for another 5 days, and I’ve already started packing my stuff up. Okay, maybe not completely sad, but I think sometimes I try to be too organized.
Jon’s mom did a little bit of research after our UPS shipping price scare, and found that it shouldn’t be much more than $100-150 to ship our big suitcase back to the states so we don’t have to carry it and a whole bunch of stuff we don’t need with us. I really hope it’s somewhere close to that price range, because though it’s a little expensive, its well worth the convenience of not having all that extra stuff with us. We’re hoping to go to the post office sometime today, so lets hope what she found is true!
Other than that, it’s about time I write and send out my postcards too. I bought a handful for a few people a couple of weeks ago, and kind of forgot about them. I also should start thinking of little things I want to bring home to my family and a couple of friends, which brought me to the unsettling realization that there isn’t a very cool French Riviera souvenir. So, to my few friends and family who get something from me and look at it and wonder “Well how is this French?”… it probably isn’t, I probably just saw it and thought of you. The only real souvenir of this region of France is this silly little sachet things filled with dried flowers and such that smell pretty. I think it’s a little lame.
That is about it really. I powered through the rest of my online courses for USF, so I’m done with all that (thank goodness!). Just dinner plans tonight with Ilona, and trying to come up with something worth while for the weekend. We shall see.
Until then, I’ve uploaded a new picture for the top of my blog, if you didn’t already notice. Jon took a bunch of pictures from Breil-sur-Roya and put this panorama together from the top of the mountain we hiked. If you look very closely, you can find me laying in the picture, enjoying the beautiful French sunshine. :)
Parlez Lentement.
