Last year on Mardi Gras...I was in beautiful Nice, on the French Riviera, buying sunglasses, taking a day trip to Monaco, and celebrating the end of Carnaval by spraying strangers in the face with silly string and watching fireworks over the Mediterranean Sea, going to some Nordic pub, running into Dan the Australian with the dirty mouth, meeting aerospace engineers from Rochester, NY (translation:GEEKS), and consuming the best kebabs known to mankind.
This year...I will be in surprisingly warm Warrensburg, MO, teaching high schoolers, writing lesson plans, eating dinner by myself, and going to bed before midnight.
Ok, I will admit it, there ARE times when I miss France.
