After almost two weeks of sightseeing, our memorable trip is finally over. It was an incredible experience visiting Rome, Florence, and Paris and seeing some of the most spectacular sights that these cities had to offer. It was also a good learning experience - we had never traveled by ourselves like that before, so we learned a lot. It was particularly challenging not speaking the language and also not knowing some of the details about each city.
I felt sad sending my brother off at the airport (see photo), but I am somewhat relieved because the Euro-trip was pretty exhausting and I don't think I could have continued at that frenzied pace much longer. Either way, it was good to be able to see my brother during my year abroad here and I look forward to seeing him (and the rest of my family) again in six months!
