This weekend was a great one, as far as weekends in Paris go (aka they’ve all been pretty sweet so far). I did a bunch of errands on Friday day, including getting really neat suede Parisian shoes. They are tan and lace up, and have a short heel. I feel much more European than before I owned these bad boys. Then Friday night we went out to some bars in the Latin Quartier. We attempted to go to a jazz bar, but the music was just ending when we arrived. It was still a cool bar though—small and wooden with red accents. Then we went to a cool Irish bar, and then to an all-night resto, in which I had an amazing banana split. Our goal was to stay up until 5:30 am to catch a metro home (the metro closes from 2-5:30 am, and cabs are rather expensive), and we totes succeeded. It was a little rough in the early morn and our waiter really wanted us to leave the restaurant, but we made it. Check check!
Don’t have enough time to tell about Saturday for now, but I will soon as it was pretty exciting! Sunday consisted of homework and a family dinner with the group of amigos (or rather amis) of wine and cheese and bread and galette. Nummers.
Also, here are some pics of my room, in case you were curious: (note: its not very well decorated at the moment, but that will change after I go to Musée d'Orsay!)

Teal Do tell: what is the shape of the toe of your new Parisian shoes? I am dying to know.
ReplyDeleteOk first off I have to say I love reading your blog; I am thrilled to hear you are having so much fun and are learning about art and architecture and dining and the various modes of transportation abroad.
Second: I LOVE LOVE your room! Its like its out of a movie! I was wistfully looking at the photos wishing I had had such an experience when I was young. Ah to sit and read in your bed and look out on those marvelous buildings! What a treat. I am so happy for you. Enjoy yourself. You are making memories of a lifetime!
ps. Berlin sounded super fun too.
