This past weekend I met up with a bazillion UNC friends in Paris!
A quick narrative: I stepped off of the underground and onto the Eurostar early early early Friday morning. At noon local time I arrived at Gare du Nord. I immediately left and went to Versailles (minor shambles due to lack of telephones). It was all that I had ever dreamed and more. Saturday sights included Sacre Coeur, L’orangerie, the bakery, the Louvre, the Seine, and the Eiffel tower (1652 stairs and an elevator ride to the top). Sunday sights included Notre Dame, Shakespeare & Co Bookshop, Saint Chapelle, RAIN, a café, musee d’Orsay.
That is the brief version of the adventures of Paris. There was also a lot of bread, cheese, and chocolate involved. I saw “Princess Bride” for the first time. A lot of things my family says make more sense now.
It is now November and it feels like it is fully Autumn. My knee (from my Amsterdam tumble) is still swollen. I fall more in love with Yoga every time I practice. I am slowly eating my way around London – coffee shops, restaurants, cafes, I am pretty indiscriminate.
I wish I could be more funny.
With love,
Lauren
