Au revoir Nantes

Until we meet again.
After a wonderful boat cruise along the Erdre, a final tour of Nantes, it’s time for me to say good bye. It’s so strange to think that my semester abroad has come to a close, but I know I’ll be back. I have to come back so I’ll find a way some how. I have really been swept of my feet by the contagious French charm of Nantes. It’s late as I stumble home, and the cobblestone streets make me wish I had ditched my heels—but I can’t imagine Nantes without cobblestone pedestrian streets. I walk out of centre ville, my heels clicking as I pass the softly lit chateau and I can’t imagine moving back to a place where ‘old’ architecture is from the 1800’s! I can’t even picture a highway, nonetheless imagine driving a car. Living so far away from home has been hard, but when I look back at the time I spent here and it seems like a dream. France is like a drug, and I’m hooked. I love watching the people—as they sleekly strut down the boulevards never missing a beat, not even to light up a ‘clope’. I’ll miss the three hour meals and strolling through the beautiful parks on my walks to school. Above all, I know I’ll miss the language. I absolutely need to find a way to incorporate it into my life in the states however I can manage. Anyway, I hope to be seeing you all soon enough on the other side of the Atlantic.
