A greeting from France.

Kaj - n. French partner for five years and overall great guy. MIA for the past few months, discovering France, and all the treasures that Europe has to offer. Studying Abroad. Missed by many... especially me.

This morning I woke up to a wonderful message from Kaj saying that he had reconnected with the world (after not being able to contact anyone for 2 and a half months). It was so good to talk to him and play catch up. I'm going to Wake Forest in a few weeks to see some friends and I realized that his familiar face won't be there and that's sad, but he is having the time of his life so that makes it a little more acceptable. Anyway here is our conversation for those of you who are desperately wondering what Kaj is up to these days. He should have more internet access now that school is finally starting for him so hopefully you will hear from you soon, but if not here's an update on how he's doing.
