Just received a call from A. She's sounding happy to be in Paris. Some drama before arriving...not only was her first flight from Burlington cancelled, after boarding the following day, everyone was asked to leave the plane because of mechanical difficulties. She waited all day in the airport before boarding for her connecting flight. She made it to Newark with no time to spare. In fact, they held the plane for her while she literally ran to make the flight. Then for a surreal experience, she met Bly, a classmate from her school, on the same flight to Paris.
Addie reports very little sleep on the plane, so she actually pulled an all-nighter. Her luggage did not arrive when she did, but it will be delivered to her sometime today.
Addie is staying in a Parisian flat with a young woman and her 4 yr old daughter. She starts classes today, a 20 minute metro ride to the school. Among her classes are an Intro to the Louvre, and French fashion.
May she have a safe and happy Spring semester!

I am equally jealous and excited for Adriene. It should be such a good experience for her. I really think traveling allows people to gain a better persective on life. It was quite a wait to get her on that plane though.... oh well at least we got to meet BEN of B&Js.... awesome. I also got that glass of water.
Also, Mom what about that book you were reading? What is the next chapter on.... I AM CURIOUS!
