T minus 16 hours

Well I leave tomorrow for my grand European adventure. I call it that because there are several purposes to this trip. It is equal parts vacation, adventure, and job. For those of you that I have not already talked excitedly to, I am going to spend almost 3 months in France. When I get off the plane though, I'll actually be in Barcelona, Spain meeting up with my dad.

After a couple days we'll head to Paris. From this point on, there really is not much of a plan in place. It should be interesting to spend a week with my dad, whose idea of speaking French is answering every question existentially with "c'est moi" or "it's me." After fending for myself in the hostels of Paris for a while, I'll finally be moving to St.-Malo, a city on the Northwest coast in the Brittany region of France. There I will be an au pair for an adorable 3 year old girl. I've already started practicing my French nursery rhymes and Disney songs :)

This is going to be one of the greatest experiences of my life. Not only do I get incredible experience for my future, but I also get to fulfill a lifelong dream of rocking dresses every day with the ever-so-stylish Europeans.
