Summertime Romances

My son was a German Exchange Student this past year and met he first girlfriend that he was 'really' serious about - she was from Deutschland, one of the german exchange students. All he wanted for Christmas was plane tickets to go back and see her. So we agreed to it. A few days before he left, he heard through the 'german-american' grapevine that she had kindda cooled off... Oh great, should have gotten the refundable tickets for twice the price. Well actually there were a lot of friends that he really want to see, so he went anyway....
after numerious delays and 24 hrs. later than he should have, he finally arrived in Frankfurt and made his way to Kassel, where he was staying. (see details of the adventure @ http://billytheskid.livejournal.com/8352.html)

NEWAY, I made this post for Summertime Romances as food for thought for him...

Aww, boo on her. At least he was able to spend more time in Germany and now he has that first romance under his belt!

Well he took it hard when the exchange semester was over. We all went over there this summer 'to pick him up' and bum around De, It and Fr. It probably hurts less the second time around.
That's basically what I told him - make new and better memories with all your other friends over there while you can!
