I chose to spend the summer after I graduated high school in France. I wanted to experience things while I was young and had nothing holding me back. One of the first people I met while there was a nice Frenchman behind the foreign exchange counter at the airport. He agreed to show me around the countryside and introduce me to some people who could guide me while he was at work. I became good friends with him and all of his friends and found it very hard to leave at the end of summer. Shortly after I returned home, my Frenchman showed up at my dorm room. Four years later, I find myself getting married to a Frenchman.
