december in america!

after spain, i headed to the good 'ol usa for three weeks! my sister and her 3 congenial roommates in harrisburg, pa were kind enough to let me sleep in their living room! it was a lot of fun to meet some really nice new people in the english language again! frequented subway (like every single day), chipotle, walmart and the local ymca - a highlight was zumba class! lots of studying. crashed a random church christmas potluck where i made some new friends! my sister and i ate an amazing amish meal communally with some random strangers! what is it about america and all the highlights invariably centering around food? nostalgically drove my old car around rural pennsylvania in the middle of the night with country music cranked. driving cars- that might be one of the things i miss most about that side of the world. i had to fly back on christmas eve to be at school on time. christmas day i spent wandering the deserted streets of geneva, switzerland, cold and alone. it wasn't the end of the world though. considering that geneva is surrounded by france, i decided to use the day to walk to france to blow my remaining euros on a turkish doner for lunch. then back to school!
