It's official. I LOVE PARIS. I love my neighborhood. I love shopping at the market. I love that the city feels like you're walking and living in art. I knew that I would like it here but this is above and beyond my expectations. So, my first weekend in Paris. Saturday morning I woke up early to buy some bread from the boulangerie next door. Best baguette I've had. Wandering around, holding my baguette, I saw a market being set up literally across the street from the apartment. Sam, Lauren, and I spent the morning at the market shopping, gazing at the beautiful produce, and loving the French. I defiantly developed serious envy for the cute carts all the Parisian market-goers had. After dropping our gorgeous produce at the apartment, we hopped on the metro to meet everyone for lunch at the 3rd arrondissement. It just happened that there was a HUGE antique market going on in that district. Was a little disappointed in the Moroccan food we had at lunch but c'est la vie. After lunch, attempted to walk to the Grand Palais but got lost with Val and Amy and ended up taking the metro after 2 hours of glorious wandering through Paris. The Anish Kapoor exhibit was there and it was mind-blowing. Very interesting and very very innovative. Today I was determined to buy one of those fabulous carts, found one for cheap and walked all the way home smilling like a fool. But must spend the rest of the day studying. Hard to focus on school work while living in such a fantastic place.
