lazy me

So I should have a post about the rest of my vacation and don't. It's not for lack of internet or lack of anything to say. Just laziness in not wanting to type up what I've been wanting to say for awhile now. Hopefully within the next few days I will be a good blogger and write about my time in Germany, especially.

It's my last night in Paris, as I type this entry from my freezing cold hostel room. Tonight I once again walked to the Eiffel Tower to enjoy the view of Paris covered in snow, which I had never before seen. I was right underneath the Tower at 7pm when it started sparkling, which was magical. I thought about how great and blessed (even with a few minor issues) my entire vacation has been and how much I've enjoyed it. I walked back to the hostel and enjoyed my last dinner in Paris by having baguette, a few types of cheeses, Bordeaux wine, some sausage, and delicious chocolate. It really was a French feast. Tomorrow I board a plane (with 2 other PCVs) and head back to Dakar and life in Senegal. It seems totally surreal and worlds away from the traveling European life I have enjoyed the past few weeks Ideally, I will be back in the village and without electricity and running water by Tuesday, but will hopefully post on this blog about my German adventures before then.

That's all for now.

btw, Joyeux Anniversaire Dad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
