Hello everyone,
I made it safely to Europe!!. I have been having a great time despite my jet lag. I haven't found a computer where I can download my pictures yet, not that I have actually tried, I have been too busy sightseeing. The hostels computers do not have the ability to download pics. I have been trying to get myself oriented in each city. I was in London for two nights and than went on to Paris where I am currently at my hostel. I have been staying each place for two days, just enough time to figure everything out and then I leave. I will write more about all of my adventures when I download my million pictures. I have met many kind and helpful people and have so many stories in the short amount of time I have been here. This has been an amazing journey and I have funny and touching stories. It is interesting how emotional you can become being extremely sleep deprived. I am leaving today to Nice, France where I will stay probably two days just enough time to get settled. = ) I am currently at the hostel and it is hard to concentrate as people keep coming up to me and asking me questions in an amazing amount of different languages. Can't they see I am busy?? Actually the people have been so great, I am learning a bit of French as I had no knowledge of the language at all when I arrived. That was a bit challenging trying to ask for directions to my hostel but I had many very kind people help me even though we didn't speak the same language. It is like a game of Charades. I finally had a good night's sleep last night so I will write again when I am in a better location without so many people around me. I thought I would be ok as it is only 9:30 but no. So I send all of you my love and thanks for being so encouraging and helpful when I was preparing for this journey. A more detailed posting to follow soon!!
