I never saw, nor have I ever seen, a more beautiful sight, than where I’ve been. With the rolling hills and twinkling lights, Memories of love still shinning bright. I know not where the path will lead, I only hope the map will read, “to your destiny, follow me, happiness, laughter, and grace you’ll see”. But if the road should prove to be, Harder than I could ever foresee, Hold my hand, and together we’ll go, Our love will guide, the course will show. And at the end, without a doubt, I will utter, about our route, “I never saw, nor have I ever seen, A more beautiful sight that where we’ve been”. ... read more

I’ve completely fallen in love. Well, with a city.

I don't have internet yet, so I'm sorry about the lack of communication. However, I've been writting a little bit to remember what's going on. This isn't quite up to date, but I'll be sure to write more soon! I miss you all! “Seven months! Seven months you are in Brest? I sorry.” These were the first words out of the mouth of my taxi driver after arriving this morning by train. My inflated confidence level after surviving Paris toute seule immediately went from being a 10 to a 3.5. In Paris, everything was logical and seemingly easy. The metro system so clear (no translation needed), the food so delicious (yes please, I’ll have another), and the weather absolutely perfect (scarf, anyone? Mais oui!) Even when getting into my taxi in Paris, right off the plane, ... read more
