Ben’s French farewell from Sweden
Ben leaves for France today after spending two months in Sweden. He will spend a few weeks there before heading back to the States until January when he then moves to France for school. Last night my IxD class organized a French themed farewell party for him at Danish Marie’s house, which was beyond touching. All 11 of my classmates attended and we made crepes and drank French wine and beer. Though a fabulous evening on all accounts, it was quite bittersweet. Thank you IxD year 1!!

You all look like you’re out of a movie, or magazine ad. Gorgeous, every one of you.
What a wonderful time you’re having!

I could definitely get used to the crepes and wine thing in France 🙂 Was cluelessly caught off guard by the surprise (again.. I don’t think I’ll ever learn), and had a wonderful last night and past 2 months in Sweden! Thank you IxD for the farewell and thanks everyone for wishing me well for my journey to France!
