The Farewell Tour

T-2 days until Paris

A lot has happened since my last update. I packed, I all but officially secured housing (more on that in a bit), and I have been trying to see as many people stateside as possible before I go. I've also been eating as much American food as I can.

Pies n' Thighs on Wednesday. Then up to Boston for a long weekend for a grill out, eggy brunches, and some North End Italian. Then, Sunday barbecue dinner (see pic) and diner coffee.

But more important than the food has been the company. I have the extreme good fortune to have an incredible array of amazing friends that I'm sure I don't deserve. Saying goodbye has been hard, so I'm pushing hard for everyone to come visit.

But more about this apartment. It's in the 19ème arrondissement with a roommate who seems awesome and I just found out the landlord is a graduate of the same university I'm going to. Once i get to Paris, I have to visit in person and get all my documents in order, but it should work out. For now though, I've arranged a room for myself on AirBnB near the apartment just in case.

Fingers crossed!
