Our Brave Traveler...

Considering that our return flight from Florence was delayed over 5 hours and we didn’t arrive home until 1:30 a.m., Veronica was surprisingly cheery that same morning at 7:45 a.m. at Rotterdam Centraal train station. That big smile clearly shows that she was excited about her first big adventure alone. We had arranged for her to spend a week with our friends Curt and Vero in an effort to immerse in French. Not even 15 years old yet and she was about to take a high-speed train directly to Aix-en-Provence in southern France all by herself.

While Veronica was very brave and happy, both Jimmy and I were in tears watching our little girl leave.
