europe//french countryside

ORLEANS

as much as i loved doing all the tourist-y stuff in paris, it was also nice to escape to the french countryside. we stayed the night with krace's cousin and her family. she lives about two hours outside of paris and has the cutest little girls! she made us dinner and we ate outside underneath an umbrella while the rain clouds floated above us without sharing a single drop. her little girls entertained us by singing songs in french and english. it was one of my most favorite memories of the entire trip. the next morning krace's uncle took us to a chateau and showed us around his hometown, orleans.

and this concludes our trip to europe. i hope we can make it back sometime. as fun and adventurous as it was, there is nothing quite like coming home. especially after two and a half weeks. and a ten hour plane ride.
