Hello
everyone! Is anyone else blown away that it is already June? I seriously cannot
believe that my time here in France is coming to an end. It seemed so far away
back in September, and January, and even just a month ago! Now I have less than
a month in this country and I have all kinds of different emotions; sad, happy,
nervous, scared, excited etc. I am really looking forward to the next step in
my life, but man I am going to miss this place (I will do a reflection post
later this month).
For
now here are just some of the things that I have been up to this past month.
Cemetery exploring in Saint Germain-en-Laye for American Mother's Day.
I started babysitting one of Greg's friends, Alex, on Tuesdays. One night we drew monsters...mine turned out "too cute" so we decided that he is a vegetarian.
Wisteria flowers that were growing outside my house. They are now gone. :(
On a Sunday stroll. L'Arc de Triomphe from Esplanade de la Defense.
The family of swans near my house. They are so cute!!
Touristing with Kayla: Place des Vosges
Touristing with Kayla: Place de la Bastille
Touristing with Kayla: Promenade Plantee: A garden/walkway thing on some old train tracks. It was really pretty.
Touristing with Kayla at Musee Carnavalet: A free museum in Le Marais dedicated to the history of Paris.
Touristing with Kaylay: Trocedero and le Tour Eiffel
One enjoyable Wednesday with friends, yummy food, and a free plays.
Lunch with Cat at LaLa la Lasagnaeria. Seriously that lasagna was so delicious. I totally want to go again!
Free production of Hamelt in Versailles that I attended with the Sister Missionaries. They actors did a great job for having a tiny stage, cloudy skies, and an audience sitting on the ground! They were over the top dramatic which made the experience top notch! :)
One morning when I got home from dropping of Greg the neighbor's cat followed me me into my little house. She was stinking adorable. I wanted her to stay.
Last week the Seine flooded, don't worry I'm safe, so on Saturday, Cat and I went over to Pont Neuf to see the river at it's highest point in over 30 years. It was incredible to see. Usually you can walk down along the banks of the river, but not anymore. I was bizarre to see the river so high.
Well I hope you all enjoyed the pictures this time around. And if any of you know of any job openings in the Seattle area, let me know; I'm on the hunt! Also please continue to share/donate for to help my dad raise the funds to get his knee replacement surgery ( https://www.gofundme.com/2mnaghu4).
Thanks for reading and look for another post soon!
