Sail boating

Let me tell you, if you're looking for a destination spot in Michigan, let me recommend Charlevoix. It's beautiful. Its blue waters, nice people, slow moving picture-esque town. Presh!

Christina and I stumbled upon a sail boat company and decided what better way to (get over jet lag) relax the good way. So we jumped on board the boat with our packed lunch (Thanks to Christina's lovely mama) and enjoyed the rays of the sun. It was just what the jet lag doctored had ordered.

You know when you get so far behind that you just don't want to keep up anymore? Thats me. But I want to update for the sake of keeping an online diary of sorts now.

So, here we go....

rewind to the end of June, June 30 to be exact, when I left Paris in search of my newest adventure...

I left Paris June 30, where I headed to the airport with too much luggage in tow.
Nearly 24 hours later and I was in Charlevoix, Michigan with my long lost soul sista, Bridget (really known as Christina but I prefer Bridget) where I spent 7 blissful days being smitten with the Michigan mitten. And boy was it a stunning state.

Here are some pictures from our adventures:

Our reunion after one year of not seeing each other and me traveling for 20ish
hours at this point. Not a good look but definitely very happy.

And of course we have to do something very American, so when you see that
the light is turned on at a donut shop meaning there are fresh (and free) donuts,
you must stop!

The breakfast Christina cooked for me my first morning there. 

Beyond being excited to be in the US for the 4th of July, to see Christina who had I hadn't seen in a year, and to not be traveling anymore, I was beyond excited to be where the sun was as opposed to Paris where it had been cold and raining for the previous month if not longer. This vacation was just what the doctor ordered! Bliss.

....more to come (because it was 7 days long!)

its not over

Don't go thinking just because I have decided to make the move back to the US of A that my life has suddenly become bland and boring because that is the complete opposite. Ok, I'm bluffing a bit, but I still have quite a bit to write about. Like the fact that I have been traveling Europe for the past 3 weeks. And I just got off a plane today only to return to the same airport tomorrow to get on another plane (domestically this time) for another week. 

Give me a second to become de-jetlagged, sleep in my own bed for more than one night and take it all in for a second and I'll be back. 

Besides, I still haven't written about my 2 months in Houston nor my trip to Michigan. Gosh. 

Hope everyone is enjoying the cooler (somewhat) temps that Houston is offering right now. Maybe, just maybe, there might be a legit fall, and on time. 

Adios.
