Food

At home, I was never much of an eater. I liked food, sure, but I never really craved food in general. Not that the food wasn't great, I just never really thought about it much. Paris has changed me. The food, even the most basic things, are SO good. It is difficult to explain properly. Anyway, I find that I can't wait until dinner. I love eating lunch around the corner from the institute. Breakfast, not so much, but it's going to get a little better since I got some yogurt to supplement my toasted baguette and confiture breakfast. Anyway, just thought I would share. It will be interesting to see if this want for food diminishes once I get back to the states or not. We shall see.

Yesterday, Rosalie and I went to the grocery store that is around the corner (kind of) from where we live. I got some yogurt and pudding stuff for breakfast, snacking, dessert, whatever. I just don't want to be hungry, ya know? Anyway, I wanted to get it cold and I'm not sure what our refrigerator privileges are, so I just stuck them outside my window. I think it is kind of fun to be using this very old technique of keeping food cold.

My sister Rachel had her baby boy Benjamin earlier this morning. This is the 19th time I've been an aunt. And I still absolutely adore it. I get just as excited with each birth. He's a new life. He's a miracle. I love children. With Benjamin and Abi, his oldest sister. I love her face in this one! Isn't he just adorable? Look at that hair! Oh I love him :)

Day 54 - Dernier Jour

Last day in Paris! I can't believe it. I'm sure gonna miss this place. Ali, Shamra, Mckell, Claire and I headed out to the city this morning. First stop was the Opera house. I finally got to see the inside this time! Beautiful. We had some fun :) Then we went to Berko's, the wonderful cheesecake place. It wasn't open and it was 11:35. We thought they wouldn't open until 12 but as we were sitting there waiting, they opened the doors! Yay! I got creme brulee cheesecake. Oh it was divine. This is one of the things I will miss most about Paris! Love it. Then Claire and I went to the Jewish museum. It was pretty interesting. I couldn't take many pictures. Then off to the Promenade Plantee. It was a really beautiful walk. I like this flower. It's weird. Then we walked back to the metro. It was quite a long walk so we were very tired! We went to the Louvre for a little internet time. Afterward, we went to Laudree to get a present for Greg and Martha. Then back to t

Day 55 - Home

I'll miss the metro, I'll miss the city, I'll miss the museums, I'll miss the tourist attractions, I'll miss the people, I'll miss the photo opportunities, I'll miss the rush. I'll miss this place. I got up early this morning, finished packing up, ate breakfast, then headed to the Roissy bus with Elisabeth and Ali. Who are, by the way, angels! I am so grateful to them for helping me. I absolutely could not have done it without them unless I got a taxi. And even then, I'm not sure. Once on the nice Roissy bus, I slept a little bit. It was good. SO much better than taking the RER B, which is what everyone else took who was on our flight. And it ended up being cheaper. Then we finally got to the airport. Elisabeth checked my duffel (thanks again!), which was fine on weight. Then I checked my large bag, except it was 4 kilo over. If I wanted to pay for that, it would be 150 euros. No thank you. So I had to get some stuff out of it. They gave me a AirFran
