Paris. Again.

Nogent-le-Rotrou. A much nicer place to live when you have friends to play with! Last week I had way too much fun with my new friends. Wednesday night we went out to dinner at a creperie, Thursday night we went bowling and then out for drinks, and Friday night we had a potluck/house party! I am definitely having too much fun here!

Saturday I went to Paris to visit my friend Eric. We finally rented the Velib (those public, rentable bikes) I have been eyeing since I arrived in September! We visited a British park Monceau, warmed up with a hot chocolate, fared the largest roundabout in the world (12 streets meet at the Arc de Triomphe) on bikes!!, and visited the Bois de Boulogne – a park in the middle of Paris! Here we discovered both a beautiful waterfall and that our hands were absolutely numb! Then we dropped off the bikes and wished one another luck in our future endeavors as we walked to separate metro lines. He is moving to Atlanta and then to New York and I’ll live in France until I move... somewhere else. So, until we meet again...
Good luck, my friend



This week I have been relaxing a lot - painting my nails, twice, watching Sex and the City and Greenwing, reading "The World According to Garp," and celebrating Christmas with friends and family. Read: doing everything I can to keep busy until I take a plane home TOMORROW!!! I can't wait!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
