Although I'm off to a slow start, I have a few things remaining to knock out before I depart for Spain in the morning. I am feeling both sad to leave friends here, and super excited for the experience I'll have over the next 6 weeks. I spent time with Michael's family yesterday and we'll cook out with my parents tonight. I am thankful for the quality time with them.
Because I had not yet received my passport, last Friday, my mother and I headed to New Orleans for my appointment with the passport agency. But of course, when I was just minutes away from CBD, I get an email saying my passport is in the mail on its way to Hattiesburg. Ironic, yes, but it meant I saved the $60 fee for picking it up in person and was able to spend quality time, share a great lunch, and shop a little with my mom. I counted it a great day! And my passport finally came in the mail on Tuesday.
I think I am ready to go to Spain now! I bought a fantastic backpack from The Outfitter on Tuesday and Michael gave me a sweet Marmot rain coat. The rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain, right? I am thinking "minimalist" as I pack and I have only selected one pair of heels to take! (That's not to say there will only be one pair in my suitcase when I return.) I bought my flight from Madrid to Paris on June 20th so I can connect with Laura for our tour of Italy (what I think will be the most amazing trip ever). I am thankful for this opportunity and can't wait to share stories and photos!
Okay, I have to finish packing and maybe grad lunch at Crescent City just one more time...
