i really loved paris. i loved the parks and the weather and the museums and galleries and restaurants....the list goes on...such a different atmosphere, although i guess every european city has such a unique atmosphere from any other city...

Pareeeee!
First seconds in Paris. We took the eurostar - which equals the Chunnel - which equals under a billion trillion bazillion tons of water of the English Channel
looking up champs elysees - you can see l'arc de triomphe at the very end.
BIKE RIDING IN THE CITY!!!!!! so much fun!
although little miss sunshine didn't think so...she was kind of a wreck. as in nervous wreck!
mr. funny waitor says to katie: you can come too - i'm not going to kidnap her
after some crazy conversation about whether love is or isn't free, i believe
one of my favorites.
jeux de boules. i'm not sure what it is. they chuck their balls and hit the other balls, i think, and stand around and drink a lot and yell at each other a lot...
view from our little river cruise down la seine
notre dame from the back - i think the back is much more gorgeous than the front - so intricate...
boat trip down la seine
one of my favorite little spots - on an island, with a little park, called square du vert-galant
i love this view of tour eiffel
taking in the view - quite scary if you ask me!
on the top of the eiffel tower
view of la seine from tour eiffel
sacre coeur - gorgeous church
view from sacre coeur
gorgeous little boy we saw running around while we were walking around montmartre
a different side of square du vert-galant
i loved the trees!
the louvre on our rainy day. rainy windy day - blew our umbrellas inside out!
the view from our hostel. we were right across from the barbes-rochechouart metro station (i'm prrretttttty sure....)

It's Official
It's official.
I now live [by myself!!!!] in an adorable little apartment on 6th street.
Classes have started (and might possibly be quite difficult).
I have internet (questionable, really).
I have no camera. Until PJ gets around to mailing me her battery charger so I can use HER camera!!!!!!! (Get on that ok?)
So the other night I was walking home from the library, which is quite a trek these days. I took a shortcut through the grass and Suprise! apparently the grass is watered at night.
To give you a little visual: some crazy girl running around the grass with her polkadot backpack bouncing around on her back. It was probably not very obvious that I was running between the sprinklers and not through them trying desperately to protect my lovely little laptop, Sebastian... but how can you say no to a little excitement, right?

North Laine
lovely marina
Volks Railway
downtown Brighton... across from the lovely and very British Jack Wills
Between our little trips when I had to study...or take study breaks...Katie and I spent a little time in Brighton. We went to the beach, rode on the Volks Railway, ate the best fish and chips in the world, shopped in the North Laine, went to the marina...
Wish it could have been more. How I miss my little party city.
