check points. check marks

I love flying. I really do. I think airports are romantic. but i have spent FAAAARR too much time in them lately.   Security checkpoints are so much fun. Not. Well, actually I lied, yes they are. I love getting stamped, smiling giddishly at the border patrol officers and watching people who dont know what theyre doing get escorted away for questioning because they cannot produce sufficient answers to the questions like "what are you doing in the UK?" .. so so so fun.

I just left Spain-- and the 85 degree weather of the beautiful city of Sevilla. Oh man was it incredible. Sangria, tapas and flamenco dancing for days.  I had such a great time with my friends Kory and Kevin and I met all their friends in their program. I just went through the nasty buisnes  of saying goodbye to the city and the people that i fell in love with for the last 5 months and I had to be there and watch them do the same.  It is really powerful--studying abroad-- you know its going to be awesome and change your life-- but you can never imagine to what extent until you are giving the final hugs and walking the streets for the last time.  I cry thinking about how much i miss france.

well-- need to go hop on over to my boarding gate. There is a group of travelers next to me dressed as a banana-pirate-- dracula and a gypsy -- interesting. the English are so weird

Off to Ireland!! Gonna kiss the Blarney Stone and hopefully see the Cliffs of Mohr!
BON VOYAGE A MOI
