Whirlwind Weeks

As some of you may know, I originally was supposed to return home on May 12th. Something I kept forgetting to share with you, is that I received a small internship with a French author of wine guides who lives close to Antibes. A few friends I have made here also received internships with the Cannes Film Festival, and for the two and a half extra weeks we are here, we've moved to an apartment closer to old Antibes. It is gorgeous and so lovely to have a real oven and washing machine in our apartment. Plus, we have built a little family here of people working on the internship, and others who are doing post-program traveling and crashing on our couches.

There is so much to update on as usual, but I am going to trying to summarize the biggest things in just one sentence each.

...

Since May 10th, I have had to say some of the hardest good byes (even though they are really, "until we meet agains") to people who I consider in my realm of close, close friends.

Recently I spent 24 hours in Paris during which I felt like a competent business woman navigating metros on my own and presenting my writing to other world travelers.

In the past three days I have been working with a past model and wife of a French rock-star, discussing the promotion of her wine guide in America, tasted gold-flecked wine with her on a yacht, and been placed on the wait list for a Cannes Film Festival party.

My writing is taking off, I want to write a book I want to write a book I want to write a book and I am receiving a lot of encouragement to do so.

My heart continues to find new emotions - of aching love, of disbelief, of pure happiness, of unexpected disappointment, of anxiety, of wonder.

Growing pains of the heart are more acute than those of the body.

...

I will most likely just be doing pictures for the next couple of weeks. If you have questions about the sentences above, feel free to leave them in a comment box and I will respond. :)
