Dear friends,
Bonjour from Nevers! Several other assistants and I spent last weekend celebrating some birthdays in a small town about 20 minutes from Nevers called La Charité sur Loire – I wrote about it last time. It was a great weekend – we had a party on Friday night, then spent Saturday exploring the town. It’s pretty small, but very pretty! It’s also right along the Loire River, so there was a beautiful view from the ramparts on top of the hill that overlooks the town. The cathedral is also really old (from the 1100s, I believe), and the town just has a lot of quaint character.
Most of this week has been occupied with making Valentine’s Day heart cards with my classes (they’ve been loving it!) and taking care of final trip preparations. I honestly can’t believe I’m leaving tomorrow night for 2 whole weeks; I’m sure the next time I post it’ll be pages long! Lizzi and I are leaving Nevers at 5:23 tomorrow night for Dijon, where we’ll have about 2 hours for dinner before our night train leaves. We’ll arrive Saturday morning in Rome, where we’ll spend 3 days. After that it’s Florence, Venice, Vienna, Salzburg, and Munich before heading back to Nevers on Saturday, the 20th. I have no idea how I’ll be able to pay any attention at all to my classes tomorrow; I’m going to be too excited!
I hope all is well with all of you, my next post should be full of tales of my travels!
