14 June, my birthday!
Et voila... c'est fini. Made it back up to Paris at about midday and caught the TGV back home in the evening. This photo is me with Shaun having my first legal drink in a bar... well legal if i was in NZ because here in France it doesn't pose a problem. Paris wasn't a bad place to spend the afternoon of my birthday! It ended up being a great 18th, the night before we had a big party in the youth hostel being the last night, it was great to be around so many other cool young people. Comme habitude on the trip drank quite a bit! Then arrived back home and my host family had put up a big "Joyeux Anniversaire" banner in my room. Got two packages sent from home and a few letters and many emails. MERCI a tous! So about the trip... I had the absolute time of my life, it was so much fun. Saw so many sights of Europe and equally important was meeting the awesome group of people from all over the world. I now have many people to visit this year, all over France and then further into the future, people to visit all over the world. The 4 Rotary chaperones who were with us were a little to strict at times but all in all they were pretty cool. I'm back at Chambéry now and I miss it a lot! If only it was longer. Well looking ahead to the rest of June, and all of July and August to be full of fun times. Salut, à la prochaine
