Alone in Europe: Day 3

I miss Ben. A lot. Thank God I'm halfway through this week without him...and thank God it's Friday!

I went for a walk by the river and through a park with a friend from work today. She is also in the graduate program, living here in Düsseldorf for 5 more weeks, and we met at the last workshop. We talked a lot and were surprised at how much we had in common even though I am American and she is Romanian. It was a nice way to pass the time this evening, chatting about family, weddings, work, living abroad, church, traveling, money, etc. etc...you know how girls can talk!

Now I'm home, settling in for the night, wondering if I'll enjoy this weekend at all or if I will miss Ben as much as I do at this moment and be lonely all weekend...

  1. Megan,
    i am so sorry you are alone! It sounds so sad.
    I got to talk to Ben at the airport--he called us and it was so good talking to him.He sounded so good and so mature. He missed you already. Try to enjoy this time--what an independent girl you are--being in Europe all alone. Catch up on sleep and go somewhere fun. Can't wait until Florida! Love you

  3. Try to think on the bright side. Being alone for a few days is good for your social calendar...you are making new friends and learning to knit! Think of this as an adventure and time to do anything that you want to do. Hang in there, you can do it!
