great news!

i'm planning on going to europe for the very first time. my friend ron is spending a few months out there with his friends, and i am leeching off his good nature. so october 11 i'm landing in heathrow for a few days of london and then we're off to paris for two days! i am so, so excited. i hope this is just the first of many international trips. i've been itching for changes of scenery lately, which helps explain the weekend jaunt to NY and the impulsive buying of tickets to DC. but europe, i feel, will be worth its cost many times over. and i'm so glad i won't be experiencing it with total strangers, which i was afraid it was going to come down to if much more time passed! anyway, more to come, pictures, all that good stuff. i can't wait to wear my new peacoat!
