After a long first week of classes (it felt longer due to the lack of internet in the dorms – what am I supposed to do at night?), it was finally time for our first weekend trip – the French Riviera.
I set up a separate blog to contain all my traveling journals, so I’ll be reblogging them instead of posting them here.
Dijon is the capital of Burgundy, a state/province/region in France. Guess what Burgundy is famous for. If you guessed burgundy, you’re right! Now guess what Dijon is famous for. Mustard! So there’s a lot of both here, right?
Where to start?
I guess I should start with the just-about-sleepless red eye flight from DC to London to Paris.
So for the next two months, I’ll be living my life in France and Germany (a month in each). I’ll also be taking classes there, as well. Why did I choose it? Why did I choose to forgo an internship in the summer and instead bury myself a little bit deeper in debt? Because it’s Europe, and because this is a chance to do something that I won’t likely be able to do in the future.
I’m leaving tomorrow (it’s actually 5:48 AM, so technically today) from DC to head to Paris by way of London-Heathrow, then taking a three-hour long bus ride from Paris to Dijon, where I will be staying for the next month. I’m looking forward to being able to write more about it in the next few days. But tomorrow (today, technically), I’m preparing myself for the long road ahead.
And jet lag. Hence, the 5:48 AM post.
