Dear Reader,
I couldn't help but write one last post before embarking on my French voyage. I know I have written three blog posts and the trip hasn't even started yet, but I am SO excited! Tomorrow morning, I am waking up at 5:30 for my flight to New York. I will spend the day there with my parents. In the early evening, I will finally meet up with the leaders and members of my Abbey Road group! That is the plan... unless between now and then my head explodes from excitement.
This last week, I heard from my French host mom. She is very nice and is going to "introduce me to some French dishes", which is awesome because I love to cook... and eat. Along with my host mom, I will have a host dad, two younger host sisters who are 8 and soon to be 15 years old and a host brother who is 10. The 15-year-old dreams of going to America. If she would like, I would love to teach her the customs of America and to learn about those of France. I am also excited to meet my roommate, Grace, in person. I know I am going to have the time of my life this summer with these new friends of mine.
The next time you shall hear from me, I will be in France. It's funny: In some ways, I feel like I am going on an exciting journey to a foreign country. But at the same time, I feel like I am simply going home.
Until next time,
Elizabeth
