Hello. I am fortunate enough to have had my second trip to Paris last weekend, nearly one year exactly after the first. This time - a girl's trip! Seven beautiful, funny, intelligent ladies together for a weekend together to bid adieu to one, heading back to the U.S. with a one way ticket.This now seems to be becoming a regular part of life ... saying goodbye. It makes sense, with a group of friends comprised of expats living outside their native home that people will come and go, but what was less expected is how quickly you become so close, family, to people you have known for such a short period of time. Sadness readily combines with hope for the future and it is impossible not to reflect on yourself and your uncertain future.
It was a weekend of comraderie, shopping splurges, croissants, drizzle, and a little jiggle in the hips. Bittersweet defined.
