And some dreams come to an end too....

Well, the end is near. We have tickets to fly home to California on March 31st, and no return tickets to Lyon booked this time. It's been difficult for me to come to terms with the fact that this dream is coming to an end. My emotions over the last couple months have run from up to down, happy to sad, excited to stressed, very depressed to hopeful. You name it, I've been there!!! :) But I must say, it is really good that now there are plenty of happy good feelings mixed in with the sad ones.

When I first heard from Dave that we were not going to be able to stay longer, I have to admit I cried for 2 days straight. I'm so glad Dave was traveling and wasn't here to witness that breakdown. He'd have felt so bad. But we knew this was temporary and that it had to come to an end. And so, we've spent the last couple of months really enjoying our time in France. We've gone to all our favorite restaurants, spent lots of time with friends, and taken some fabulous trips. We spent Valentine's day in Geneva (that's the 3rd V-day in a row in Europe...sounds like a tradition doesn't it?). Then last week we booked a last minute 7-day trip to Morocco. I'm planning another trip to Paris, and we might even go to Corsica if we can fit it in. So, it's not over til it's over for us. And we don't plan on leaving Lyon without shaking the last drop of wine out of the bottle ;)
