Bonjour friends! I am blogging from the Geneva airport this morning (where they have put Movenpick ice creams in the lounge!!!), as I wait for my flight to head out to Orlando. I was actually supposed to fly to Orlando yesterday morning, but some SERIOUS travel delays coming back from Spain derailed all that. Suffice it to say that I have spent way more time in the Madrid airport than I ever care to again.
Actually, I've been spending a lot of time in lots of airports recently. I've spoken about this a lot lately, but this summer has absolutely flown by in a whirlwind of work and travel. I've got a few weeks of heavy travel left, and then I am really looking forward to a bit more downtime!
I appreciate all of you guys who reached out after reading my last post - don't get me wrong, life is great, and I feel so lucky to be at this place in life, but just like everyone else, I have things and moments in my life that are tough. Since I wrote that post (more than two weeks ago - oops!), I really haven't made much progress in trying to stabilize my life in Geneva. I have been all over the place - Sweden, Copenhagen, Paris with mom, and Spain - so I still have a lot of work to do. But at least all the travel means that I have a lot to share on the blog!
Here are some pictures of my time in Sweden and Copenhagen. I went to Alvesta to celebrate Kim and Jay's engagement, and I had a wonderful time! Due to various administrative reasons, I had a hell of an itinerary to get there (SFO > ORD > BNA > EWR > GVA > CPH), but it was so worth it to be able to spend time with a special friend in such a fun and meaningful setting.
After a few days spent in "the real Sweden" getting to know Jay and his family and friends (who are lovely, btw), I took the train back to Copenhagen to spend a couple of days there. To be honest, I was so completely wiped out by the time I got there, that I probably didn't enjoy the city as much as I could have, but I don't really have any regrets. I thought the city was beautiful, and it was a great place to enjoy some time relaxing in the sunshine!

And hot dogs. Lots of hot dogs.
