My friends came over to keep me company, help me finish all the food I had left and take stuff off my hands that I couldn't bring home. Then we played bilingual telestrations! Dani and Ed even brought Plato! I wonder if the salle commune had ever seen a dog before that.
I stuffed all of my things into one big suitcase and one bookbag.
I shipped home about 33 pounds of books and 15 pounds of other heavy stuff I couldn't bear to part with.
I took one last cafe in Caen with my best friend Whitney, at my favorite cafe.
I made it through the Paris subway with only two escalators out of order, and nice people to help me up all the stairs.
On the train in France I thought about how happy am that my French is finally good enough that I have no problem traveling, asking for help, clarification, directions, understanding all responses,etc.
On the train in Germany I am back to square one and don't understand a thing.
Sylvia was waiting for me with a Bavarian speciality!!
So good to see my friend, so much to catch up on, and so much to see!
