Level Ground

Time is not going by any slower these days and I recently set off on "Europe '08" with my sister whom I met up with in Paris last weekend. Being able to show her Paris followed by the wildness and beauty of Brittany was a great pleasure. She was able to meet my best friends and we made some great bro/sis memories.

Sarah is here on vacation and vacationing we are. We're trying not to lose our minds in an attempt to see every last old rock or piece of artwork or whatever. I think we're doing a decent job of it. So far my most memorable moments have been a Sunday morning market in Saint Brieuc, a long sit at one of my favorite little spots overlooking the water called the "Pointe de Roselier," seeing my sister laugh with my friends, and now, in Italy using "Scuzi Senora...Grazi" with a lot of gestures in between while trying to communicate a question about apples in a supermarket :).

I know that English is very useful everywhere, but I am sad that I can't communicate with people the way I'd perhaps like to. Sarah and I are on equal ground now. We're both dependent on English speakers, hand gestures, and a bit of vocabulary. It's ever growing though. Tonight I learned "Saluda!" At least I think that was it. It meant "eat."

Ciao!
