Although slowly recovering from a rather severe case of reverse culture shock, I am settling back in to my "normal" life. Its strange, really. I sometimes feel like my four months spent in Paris was just a wonderful dream. My two lives were so vastly different from one another. And yet, when I get on skype to chat with friends in Paris, or just look at pictures of my travels throughout Europe, I am reminded that it was, in fact, reality.
Reality check..back to school in a little more than a week. Another spring semester in my other favorite city. Oh New Orleans, how I have missed you. But I will miss Paris as well. The lights, the food, the atmosphere. Perhaps I can find a baguette as good as the ones in Paris, but probably not. But as I munch on my not-as-good american bread of some sort in New Orleans, I will look around me and appreciate the love I have for all the cities I now hold dear to my heart. Paris, New Orleans, Atlanta are the holy trinity of sorts for me, and I am so happy to call all three of these places home.
