And I'm off! I'm leaving England today to embark on my last European adventures before returning home to California. I'm headed first to Sweden, to stay with a family friend on a farm about 2 hours north of Stockholm and celebrate Midsummer this weekend in true Swedish style. Then I'm going to Berlin for a few days, then to the German university town of Gottingen to stay with a friend from high school. From Germany I'll go to Brussels for a few days before taking the train to Paris to meet up with a friend from Michigan who is currently working in the Peace Corps in Ethiopia but is taking her vacation in France. Then I'll come back to London for one last night to catch my flight from Heathrow and fly back to San Francisco! It's been a difficult few weeks trying to wrap everything up here and say goodbye to the places and people I've grown to love so much. Leaving someplace is always difficult for me, and I'm juggling the feelings of being so sad to go but excited about the next part of my life and so glad to have had this opportunity. I'll try to get in a post or two about my travels before I finish off this blog for good and hand it off to next year's Fellow. A la prochaine...
