So, since I’ve last posted I spent some more time in England, went to Brussels, Belgium, and am now in Paris. I lost my passport in London…it was most likely stolen. So I went to the embassy and got a new replacement one. The only problem was I lost the visa that was my ticket to South Africa. So after a whole bunch of e-mails, my only hope was to mail my new passport back to Chicago where I first got it stamped. Finding a time to send it back when I wouldn’t need it going from country to country was tough, but I sent it out in Paris and I should get it back tomorrow. But that wasn’t the only thing. Two days ago, visiting the Musee d’Orsay, my camera was pick pocketed. So this trip hasn’t been too great in that aspect. Everything else has been great though, and I’m glad that I’ve been able to be so independent even when these things have been happening.
Next week this Jterm ends, and I’m off to Italy, where I’ll be traveling to Cienna, Flornece, Vienna, and Rome. I’ve heard worse pick pocketing stories from Italy than I have from France, so my fingers are crossed.
