This coming Tuesday marks my last week in Grenoble. I’ll be flying from Lyon to Boston on Tuesday, May 1 - it is so soon, and the days are flying by. I am content to finally be going home, and excited to see my family and friends, and spend my first summer in Boston! As happy as I am at the thought of all things American, the closer I get to leaving the more I think, “just a few more days…” Just to eat a few more macaroons from Foret Noire, to get more ice cream at Glacier Gonzalez, to eat a bit more Camembert and Brie, to hike up to the Bastille a few more times…So, I’m making a list of all the things that need to happen just one more time before I head home:

1. Foret Noire (multiple times..) for the amazing macaron framboise and hot cocoa; 

2. Gonzalez to try the white chocolate ice cream, and to get another round of pistachio and honey ice creams; 

3. One more florentine from Bochard, the best chocolatier;  

4. Hike up to the Bastille on the days when it’s not raining this week; 

5. Get a teapot from my favorite Moroccan shop as my last souvenir. 

And then I’ll go home fulfilled :) Last week, here goes…
