Update: I am alive

Sorry about the looooooong absence. But between having a blast, getting sick and feeling like dying, and sightseeing I didn't really have tîme for too much else. Quick recap of my last two weeks:

I finished my semester!! Woohoo! No more class-like material for 3 months!

Then it was off to Nice, France. Nice weather. Beautiful beaches. Nasty bugs.

Next stop, Chartres, France. Stayed with my old host family. Loved it. Nicest people next to my own family!

Paris. Only for 20 hrs. Went shopping and to a friends appt. that overlooked Notre Dame. Excellent. Went to a doctor and learned to love the French social security system.

London, Enlgand. Cold, Rainy, Windy. London was calling, and I just couldn't muster enough stregnth to answer. I had my birthday!!! Went to a Decemberists concert, which was great!

Geneva, Switzerland. Breathe in. Breath out. Rest.
