Au Revoir

I write this final post from the Paris apartment, poised to shut down the laptop, and pack it up with everything else to journey to Charles de Gaulle, where I’m catching a flight home today.  I took the TGV from Lille to Paris yesterday afternoon, and it’s given me a nice sense of closure to return here one last time…where the trip began, where I spent most of the summer, and where I am now leaving.  Paris is in the height of vacation season: the weather is humid, and some of my favorite nearby shops have closed for the month.

Just because it’s the end of my European travels for the summer does not mean I’m done writing.  I’ve enjoyed it so much and gotten enough positive feedback that the blog will live on.  Of course, I won’t be writing as frequently (because honestly my daily life is just not interesting enough for that), but I’ll keep posting about interesting places and experiences, whether far or near from home.  In particular, check back for an update on my trip to New Orleans and Mississippi in a few weeks, interesting discoveries around Charlottesville and Princeton, my class trip to Sicily in October, and whatever else might unexpectedly come up in between.

To my fellow travelers, bonnes vacances.  To those at work, bon courage.  To everyone–thanks for reading.  Back to the States I go!
