It's odd to say I'm 21 now, but I suppose it would be more odd if I hadn't studied abroad. On Monday evening, I went out for one of the most delicious dinners with my roommate at a local restaurant called Cafe Vino in Fort Collins. We shared gorgonzola pear ravioli and an artichoke/ pesto/ eggplant/ goat cheese pizza. Is your mouth watering yet? Of course I also enjoyed my first drink at a restaurant in the United States with my dinner. I decided to go with something nostalgic from French: a nice red wine from the Côtes du Rhone region.
I guess after studying abroad in France, it was almost more weird to come home and not be able to enjoy a glass of wine with my dinner than it was to order my first drink in the United States. Of course the waitress checked my ID, and told me welcome to being 21!
P.S. Thank you for all of the wonderful birthday wishes!
Gratefully yours,
Danielle
