Pheww, finally back home in Aix. What did I do the last week you might ask. Well:
Showed up in Dortmund Germany on my way to Berlin.
Saw the whole of Berlin in one whirl wind day. Not the most attractive city but a very important one.
Trained it to Poznan Poland early Friday morning where I met the Sgrois and Micelis. Thus began the adventures. Somewhere between tours of the city, always being late and the cousin getting married we managed to eat one meal for the duration of 8 hours and knock off many bottles of vodka. The traditional alcohol count for a polish wedding reception is one bottle for every guest. WHAT!
Spent Sunday recovering. Monday retrained it back to Berlin, this time with 7 others. Sent the 7 on their way to Florence and I stuck around Berlin another day. Saw a concentration camp north of the city-wow. That is just one of those things that you have to see in order to understand the horror behind it.
Flew back to Nice and then finally to Aix.
It was wonderful to see the family and intreguing to see the Polish and American families attempt to integrate despite a very large language barrier. A little vodka seemed to clear that up.
The 7 who popped to Italy will be here in Aix by Friday. Next weekend MaryFaith and friends are coming and the weekend after that I might be going to Germany for World Cup fun. Then I leave!! NOoooooo :( This last month is going to be pack full of fun and adventure so I won't think about leaving untill I have to. Hope everyone is well!
PS Got an email and I haven't graduated yet. It has been moved to this summer. I'm still an official student!! YYIIPPPEEEEEEE How long do you think I can stave off the end?
