I got back to Vichy about 4 days ago and it has been very nice. I walked to the grocery store and I felt like this was actually my home. I didn't have people bombarding me to buy magnets or scarves, which was the most annoying part of traveling to major cities. 

So, out of all of the cities I have been to, Florence is the winner, it was by far my favorite. Until I went there, I thought all of the cities were great and I didn't think it would be possible to have a favorite. The people in Florence were so friendly and the city is absolutely beautiful! I loved it! 

Now that I'm back, it's time to get to work and buckle down. I have a 15-20 page paper to write and I need to work on my french. The only traveling I have left is to go to Lyon for a Phoenix concert :)

I have started a countdown to go home and it's at 40 days right now. I have a great class schedule for my last semester and at the beginning of June, I get to move to a new city and get my own place, so I am very excited!

Sorry that this blog will be boring from now on...I'm currently catching up on all of the tv shows I missed.

Later,

Hillary

P.S. Best things about my adventures: Seeing the Queen of England and seeing the Pope!
