Today was my last day driving in France as I had to give up the company car I'd been using the last 6 months. I somehow managed to avoid getting in an accident the entire time, even with the crazy French drivers, confusing signs, tight parking, random stop lights, unmarked lanes, and the whole ridiculous Priorité à droite
thing. It's not to say it wasn't stressful at times though, and I'm looking forward to driving back in the US where people follow the rules, lanes are clearly marked, and one way and two way streets don't look exactly the same.
This is our last weekend in France. We both love living in Europe, and Paris has really started to grow on us (though it may be because Kara can finally speak French and that it's no longer dark most of the day). I'm both excited to get home to where things are just "easy", but also sad to leave the mystery of the unknown. I do miss my old role at work so I'm definitely looking forward to that, but there's so many little things I'm going to miss about living in Paris. I know we'll definitely try to come back to Europe one way or another in the future.
Now it's time to start packing and figuring out how to squeeze everything back into our suitcases. You only get 1 litre of alcohol a person so I'm trying to figure out what my two favorite bottles of wine were. I should have been writing this down! If only I could also import the bread too....
