After leaving China at the end of May, I actually headed to Europe to spend some time with my boyfriend, Max, before going back home to the States. He has an excellent post on our vacation on his blog, including video slideshow of panoramic pictures that we took while we were there: http://mczouav.blogspot.com/2011/06/corse-avec-sarah.html Unfortunately, the text is in French, but the pictures should speak for themselves!
Overall, our vacation was fantastic, and it was a good way to transition away from China without too much of a shock when I finally did arrive home, since France/Corsica is still a foreign country where things are different than at home, albeit much more familiar to me than China. Corsica is absolutely beautiful, with towering mountain peaks in the center of the island, and dazzling golden beaches outlining sparkling blue and turquoise water on the edges. We did a lot of hiking to see waterfalls and rock formations, lazed around on the beach and by the pool, and had fun camping in Max's parents' old tent (which was surprisingly still waterproof, as we found out the day it poured!). I enjoyed Max's cooking and the fact that I wasn't worried about getting sick after eating every meal! The skies were fantastically blue and the air was so clean, I was in heaven.
Do check out Max's blog for pictures if you like!
