It's never 'good-bye.' It's always 'see you later.'

Well...simply put "it is never goodbye, it is always see you later." And I cannot be more sure that I will see these friends later on in life. Although it took so long to meet them and finally make plans. The best nights we had were always with them. The girls here (and the guys) have been soo welcoming and so nice to hang out with us on some evenings. Saying bye at tex mex was hard. It is this little bar that is right across the university of Albi (where all of these pictures were taken). It was a great evening. Kisses and hugs were everything this night. I couldn't help but start crying. These girls have truly made our study abroad trip wonderful. We couldn't have found a better group of students our age to get to know. Some plan to come to the United States within the next few years. I can only hope they are near Pennsylvania... the road trip would be so worth it! I am positive, in the near future I will be back to this part of France. I would love to come see what this program has become in 3 or 4 years. And see France all over again. I know...that when I return, I will be visiting these girls. Thank God for facebook...we will be able to keep in touch regularly.. Here are some photos of our last night with them (December 10, 2008) .... <3
