I can not even begin to describe how incredible this experience has been. I feel like the luckiest person in the world. I've gotten to travel with the coolest people as well as travel on my own which has allowed me to meet about a zillion more cool people. Had I travelled with "someone" else, I would not have gotten to do this.
Yesterday afternoon I flew from Madrid, Spain to Paris, France. I even met 5 fabulous people at the airport! Our flight was delayed so we got to talking and laughing and having a great time. I've never learned so much so frequently at any other time in my life.
The pictures are of some of the people I met in Madrid. I stayed in three different hostels during my 6 days in the city. Each time I went out at night my group would get bigger because I would bring new people along. I can't wait to do that here in Paris. I'm unable to connect my camera to the computers at this hostel so I'll get some up of Paris tomorrow when internet cafes open. Now I've got to make some more plans as I've only got until June 27th planned. I think I'll spend a bit more time in Paris, then move on to Amsterdam :)
It's a strange feeling really: wanting to go home SO badly, but wanting to stay in Europe forever because there are so many places to go, things to see, and people to meet. It definitely forces one to live in the moment...
