Seeing as how work has ended, and thus so have our contractual obligations to stay in France, the goodbyes have started trickling in. Rather than being too upset about all of this ending so soon, for now I'll choose to instead acknowledge how lucky I am to have met people that I'll miss so much. The friends I've made in Bordeaux are the perfect mix of hilarious, warm-hearted, and just the right kind of crazy, and they have become my home away from home. I've spent the last seven months enjoying their company, and I'll continue to do the same for the time I have left here - which is surprisingly short.
I'll be away for the next two weekends and am flying back to New York the following Friday morning, so although I've got nearly three weeks left before coming home, this past weekend was my last in Bordeaux. Happily, it was excellent. On Friday we stayed out dancing and laughing until nearly 7am, then spent Saturday recovering all snuggled up in bed watching sitcoms. Yesterday I celebrated the birthday of one of my favorite people here by tasting lots of wine in Blaye, then eating cake and heading to the pub for a very competitive quiz night. A fabulous sort-of-end to seven fabulous months of adventuring through Bordeaux. Next stop: Marseille! And Nice! And Ibiza! And Geneva! The good times keep on rolling.
