fare thee well

view from my apartment window

well, brussels – and “blogathor,” as you’ve affectionately become known to me – it’s been great, but i guess this is it…

in a matter of hours, i’ll be hopping on a plane and away from you both.

living in europe these past three months has been phenomenal – both professionally and personally. i’ve learned, experienced and travelled so much, and think i’m all the better for it. i even ran out of time to post about my most recent trip to the czech republic, which was fabulous. (italy, that country is giving you a run for your money – i give it a czech plus – but, don’t worry, you’re still my favorite.)

next destination: onward and upward. time to head back to san francisco, where it seems i’ve been gone from for an eternity, to reconnect with much-missed dear ones, but also to start a new chapter.

so, belgium, i’ll leave you with some words from one of my favorite poets of all-time:

“goodbye is too good a word, babe,
so i’ll just say fare thee well.”
