laziness

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!)
