A Weekend in Paris


What a dream this feels like.  As I begin to form my thoughts on how to describe our weekend away in Paris, I'm thinking, "is this real life?".  Picnics under the Eiffel tower, cheese, red wine, baguettes?  Yes, that happened.  Our own Parisian flat complete with brioche bread waiting for us in the kitchen?  Oh yes, that happened.  Crepes, fancy hats, red lip stick and more cheese?  Why not.  That's how we did it last weekend in Paris.

Paris, France



Bonjour! 
Ca va?
Ca va bien, et tu?

Sadly, that's almost the extent of our French.  Why oh why did I not pursue this language in school when I had the chance?  Zack even spent four years in elementary schooling doing "French extended",  and still we've got nothing on these Parisians.  In our opinion, French is a beautiful sounding language. Yes, it even beats out "sexy Italian"...  haha.  There's something about the way Parisians communicate that sounds sofisticated and soft.  At least that's what we got from all the people watching we did here (and trust me, we did a lot).  We spent a lot of our time here in Paris, really not doing a whole lot!  I actually spent time reading more than just 5 pages of a novel, and enjoyed the parks and scenery of the city.  Being our final destination before England, we just wanted to soak up the city and not exhaust ourselves before the real world of working and living in one city would approach us.  Unfortunately, the weather was a little cooler than we'd had hoped (I guess we left summer behind in Venice!), but we were lucky to have sunshine for most of the time we were there.
