avant l'aventure

Perhaps you know, perhaps you don't know, the fact is that I am about to take a very large trip to Grenoble, France. France is very far away. VERY far away. A world away! Well not actually a world away because wouldn't a world away just put you back to where you are in the first place? THINK ABOUT IT. So Grenoble is a half a world away. Here's a picture:

Here's the deal, I am an adult baby lady. I am scared shitless. Seriously, when people say "scared shitless" they mean it. All the shit inside your body evacuates due to nervousness. That's my case. I am running on nothing all up in here. "Why are you scared, Marta?" 

1. I am living with a family that is not allowed to speak English to me. "Je ne sait pas" (I don't know) and "Comment dit on?" (How do you say?) Are going to be phrases that is going to be exiting my mouth A LOT.  So yeah, I am going to sound like a five year old. 

2. I really like my family and I have never been away from them for more than a week. As I mentioned before, I am an adult baby lady, and everyone in my family takes care of me. So this trip is going to be a real eye opener. So yes I am going to miss them. 

Don't get me wrong there is also the excitement bundled up in all the emotions I feel. I am going to a place where history dates back 2000 years! That's just ludicrous! That's like fifteen years after Jesus! My brain is going to be so full of knowledge about old stuff! 

The south of France is known for what? WINE! Awe yes! Wine. I plan on becoming a lover of wine. Do they drink wine for lunch? I don't know yet but the French seem like lunch wine drinkers. AWESOME. 

I have been eating a lot of croissants to prepare for the cuisine. I don't really know about French cuisine, the restaurants that sell French food are expensive. I know France has croissants and escargot, someone told me they taste like garlic mushrooms, I am down for that. I am going to eat ALL the foods and drink ALL the drinks. What if I come home and I am not satisfied by anything American again!? I might just have to find someone to marry me and move there. Just kidding, revert back to me loving my family too much. 

So here's the deal: 

Follow this blog if you want the sweet details of my trip and adventures and my struggles and all the fun stuff. Some of the things that I plan on doing on this blog are: people watch and write about their lives that I have made up in my head, fill it with cool pictures of me in places,  take pictures of good food that I have eaten. IT'S GOING TO BE GREAT!
