I’m back in Paris and have been here for a few days. The trip to Nice was fabulous. I think I could live in Nice all my life and never get tired of looking at the Mediterranean Sea. It’s so beautiful and tranquil. It always boggles my mind that the same waters wash upon the shores of Nice, Athens, Barcelona and Beirut. I’ve enjoyed being back in Paris. I’m getting myself adjusted (again) to the life here and the people. There’s always a little bit of culture shock. It’s always the little things that are the most difficult to adjust to, at least for me. For example, most French hotels don’t have shower curtains. That’s just odd to me. Today my friend and I bought our train tickets and booked our hotel room for Strasbourg. We’re going to go there on February 22-24. I’ve always wanted to go there because I like World War II history and last semester I thought I was going to go, but then I didn’t and I was disappointed. According to a map I have on Facebook, that keeps track of everywhere I’ve been, I’ve only seen 13% of the world. That’s pitiful. So, in the spirit of traveling, I’ve made a list of places I will go this semester, including Geneva, Vienna, and Copenhagen. Sunday, January 20, 2008
