I’m having a lot of mixed feelings about Europe. I leave in a little less than two weeks and while I am excited to be in ‘Merica, I am also a little sad to leave. I have had so much fun while I have been here and have succeeded some of the goals in my life! I have met some AMAZING people who have inspired me. While not all of my stories are up yet (and hopefully people will come upon them and read them) my stories could not even amount to the memory itself!

The mixture of history and new in the cities creates a unique charm that you just cannot help but fall in love. The people here are so interesting when it comes to their personalities, style, and the way they present themselves compared to how we act in America.

I’m thinking that someday (if I ever get a writing career started :P) I will write a story based in Europe. Maybe visit again to get some more inspiration, or maybe it will be a memoir.

The children that I have worked with here are so different from the other children I have worked with before. They are held in a special place in my heart as well. I’m sure they don’t know it but they helped open my eyes to a different viewpoint to the world (being children who have to deal with their parents going off to Afghanistan many times for long periods of time). Their strength to deal with such situations at such a young age is inspiring as well reminds me not to take things for granted.

I don’t know…I think I just need to come back again sometime. After this summer, I feel as if I have to. There is too much that I have not seen yet, which is bad since I have am in my 13th week now.

I’m making my week goal to write at least three more of my weekend Adventures! Hopefully by the end of this summer I will have all my travels updated…We’ll see!
