It’s almost time to go back…home?
Posted on | July 29, 2009 |
Since I’ve been over on these English shores this blog has been sorely neglected, so I thought I should write a quick note now that my flight back to the US is less than a week away. These past couple of months in the UK have been wonderful in many ways (as well as the time spent out of the UK in Paris and then the South of France), but I am definitely ready to return to the life I’ve set up for myself in Berkeley.
It would take too long to describe in words all the adventures Sam and I have had while together in the same continent, so I encourage you to see my photos instead, where some of the most memorable moments are recorded. Suffice to say here that the highlights were: Sam submitting his thesis and then passing his viva (defense in US English), as well as the drinking that then ensued; celebrating our two year anniversary in the Marais district in Paris; making dinner for my brother and his family in their new house in Oxford; traveling the length of France by train; winding up the narrow cobbled streets of the tiny hilltop village overlooking the converted barn where my whole family stayed for a week near the Pyrenees in Southern France; realizing quite how greatly a two year old’s vocabulary can increase over just a week; being rained upon a lot after cycling to Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire…and many, many more!
And now Boston and Virginia lie ahead before I finally return to Berkeley in late August, so there should be some more adventures to report before too long!
