Time To Get The Party Started

First things first: I'm safely here with no problems!

My day started 10AM Texas time on Friday when I woke up to finish packing and leave for my 2o'clock flight out of DFW. It was 7AM in Frankfurt, Germany when we landed. And noon by the time we had met the group and boarded the bus to head to Strasbourg, France. I wish I could say I got some sleep during the travel, but unfortunately I cannot.

Nevertheless, Dustin took off work and sent me off with my momma to the airport! A very good start to my trip!

For my flight I was blessed with the center aisle, middle seat in the 34th row right behind the wing. In other words, I most definitely had the very best seat on the whole entire plane, which was supplemented with a very heavy set Middle Eastern/American who apparently does not own deodorant and an ignorant (and arrogant for that matter) young man who just joined the military who thought he deser

ved 100% of the arm rest for the full flight. But that's okay. The plane did not crash, so I'll take it!!

The food on the plane? It was absolutely disgusting. I was given the choice between beef and tortellini. But I figured the tortellini would be dry and cold, so I figured beef and mashed potatoes were a better bet. I think they were both equally disgusting. The one thing that was semi tolerable was the dry and 3000 times over processed chocolate chip bar.

Once we got here, we were given the keys to our apartment for the next month! I feel like such a big girl now, having my own apartment with my own key in the center of Strasbourg, France. HOLLA! This is me and my roomies! Good thing they smell okay, because our apartment is super tiny and I literally sleep a foot and a half from Jessica (center) every night.

And this, ladies and gentleman is where I will live Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday of every week. Is this not gorgeous or what?

I love how there is so much German influence and architecture in Strasbourg, yet it is still a nice blend of French. We passed an outdoor floral shop on the corner. It was so adorable. Things like that make Europe frigging amazing.

And lastly and most importantly, once we got up to our room and semi-settled and ran to find some semi decent food, and boy did we ever! We ate doener-kebab, and I convinced everyone to try it. And better yet,, everyone loved it! It was the perfect start to five weeks abroad! :)

Tomorrow we're taking a boat tour of the city and eating dinner with the french professor heading this whole shabang up. Get excited ladies and gentleman. More for tomorrow!

XOXO
