Avec le Kelly!
Not the Hermes bag, but even better -- my amazing friend Kelly, from high school AND USC! It has been perfect to do all the minorly touristy things with her... but also to share what I love about Paris so far with someone so close form home! We started out her first night here at VIP, and bumped into some of Eva Longoria's wedding party at the next table! Paris can seem to big, but in some moments you really feel like there are only a couple of places to be on a Friday night.
Sunday was decidedly relaxing day, so we braved the overcast weather and went out to Champ de Mars... picnicking in front of the Tour Eiffel!
A little cloudy, but the rain held off until we left. The whole area is completely populated on weekends with families and little children - there's even a go-cart track around the corner and a really sad-looking donkey-drawn carriage hobbling around the green.
Avec ses lunettes de soleil! Some more sightseeing today around the Latin Quarter after my class, but our walking was HAILED on! I cannot believe this global warming... I think it's especially targeting Paris. We were completely trapped in Benetton with 10 others until the hailing and thunder stopped, and then we rushed back into a cafe around Saint Severin. Even though I have been to Shakespeare & Co. every time I've been to Paris, it was so wonderful today! We found a cat napping upstairs, and wasn't sure if it was alive, until it twitched.
I love that it's almost like a hostel, with a little sink upstairs surrounded by a few toothbrushes and half-empty toothpastes. The inscription above the hall upstairs even reads: "be not inhospitable to strangers, lest they be angels in disguise."
