In Genève

So basically, I'm really happy I'm on this trip. I feel like I learn a lot everyday and constantly have a new challenge or adventure coming up. The one thing that I realized so far that is easily written and communicable is that I desperately want to do a year in a foreign country, with a family. After talking to Shirah I feel kinda sorry for not doing it in high school, but I'm confident I can do it in college too.

Somebody behind me is having a conversation, and he has a voice like darek lee weeden, and he's speaking french. Kickin....

After parting ways with Nicolas and his family last Sunday I traveled to Marseille, which is an incredibly beautiful city. It reminded me a lot of Southern California, except everybody spoke french.

I arrived in Genève tuesday night, and have since met 2 girls from philidelphia who I spent most of wednesday with and then did dinner with them thursday night. They're 28 and 27 and are way cool. we went and saw a free concert in a park on wednesday and had a dinner picnic with baguettes and cheese and tomatoes and peppers and wine and chocolate. yum. There is a story to how I met them, so remember to ask me about it when you see me. Anywho, I also met a lot of nice guys staying in my hostel room, and we spend most nights here talking about worldly differences before we go to bed. I'm enjoying myself immensly, but look forward to getting home and seeing off those I can and maybe journeying to see a few people before I go to Boston.

I've also finished shopping for presents. Hurrah!

Love,
Garrett
