Today I went to Boulder to meet my grandma for a final bon voyage before Paris. She helped me so much with Paris, I can't thank her enough! We met (although Jeff and I were 20 minutes late...it actually takes at least an hour to get to Boulder from the Fort...thanks mom...who said it would take 40...) at a little vegan/vegetarian restaurant on the Pearl St. mall called Leaf. It was really nice meeting up with her and explaining our classes, plans, etc (also very nice to find a vegan/veg head friendly restaurant! keep it up veg heads!). After looking for huckleberry jam (which I should try!) we said goodbye for the next 5 months. Then I headed the streets of Boulder to find the perfect address book (which I find I'm still looking for...), then headed to the Laughing Goat for a spot o'tea jittery from sharing our excitement avec grand-mère. It's finally starting to sink in for me, I suppose all it took was my first au revoir :( .
Before she left, she gave me a euro card..its like a gift card that automatically transfers money to euros so that should be very helpful in Europe (I consulted lonely planet and according to their travel guide it should be great!) so I cant thank her enough for her thoughtfulness and help! I'll let y'all know how the well the card works once I'm in Paris.
