<strong>Great story:</strong> Here's Augustin and Michelle in the South of France that summer. Everyone assumed they'd just met, not realizing the Bolivia back story. "I always thought our story was a lot more fun than meeting at a bar during a study abroad in Paris," says Michelle. "Even though that's a great story, too."
