Another great read and what a trip! Hope you recover quickly. Auntie B recommends rest and more rest so you can wrangle yourself out of that bucket ready for the next adventure. I love that octopus btw.

This post was hilarious. And so heartfelt. I am so sorry that you came home sick. buy at least one person on every group of friends has come home sick (usually Covid), That does not stop me either. I love to trravel, expecially on your trips.

Feel better soon Erica. I have FOMO, every time I don’t go with you on these trips. They all look so fun and interesting. Might have to join you in France.
