An American in Paris

Saturday during the day Liz, Grace and I went to the boulangerie down the street to get croissant aux amandes….and they were delicious obviously.  Then I finally started packing (ha what a joke) before we went to meet up with people for falafel at Chez Hanna.  I bought gifty things for people while we were out and about.  Liz and I went into a really smelly cheese shop and got three cheeses we’d never heard of to eat for dinner with yummy baguettes.  Two of them were pretty good, but one was beyond stinky and it tasted like burnt latex or something…bleccchhh.  We stayed in the kitchen for pretty much the entire night.  None of us really slept, except a few people took naps around 2 am.  We sat and talked about fucking EVERYTHING and just enjoyed our last few hours as a group.  Some peoples’ shuttle arrived around 6 am and those of us who weren’t leaving said our good byes outside.  A very sad moment for me and of course this baby started to cry.  Now I am all alone at the dorm and still haven’t slept or showered.  To me it still feels like Saturday and I’m still wearing the same clothes.  I need to finish packing because I need to be out of here by 3 pm to move into Nick’s.  I don’t want to do anything but curl up and sleep for 5 days approximately.  I have so much left to do before I leave Paris for my travels in the next three days.  This should be an interesting Sunday.
