Hi guys,
I realize I haven't been a good reporter for you guys. Keeping up with my blog from my iPad has been more work that I had thought. It's not the same when you are used to typing at hyperspeed on a real keyboard and then transition to the onscreen keyboard of my iPad... But anyway, here's a brief update on what's been going on in my life.
About a month ago I arrived at Hirson, the small town in the northeast of France where I live and work. After three weeks of work we got a two weeks break (thanks French education system!). So I've been doing what I like to do best, traveling :)
I started in Paris, the city of ♥. Also known as "La ville lumières", the city of lights. I met my cousin Carolyn and her friend Tanya there.
*little side note: Robin Thicke happened to be arriving at Charles de Gaulle airport at the same time as I was waiting for my cousin and he casually strolled by me... It caught me so off guard that I didn't have time to react. For those who don't know, Mr. Thicke has become super popular recently. Most notably for his song Blurred Lines which stirred up some controversy by launching a very risqué music video.*
Since it was my second time in Paris I didn't go camera crazy like my cousin but I was able to steal some of her pictures of this beautiful city.
Our apartment was a five minute walk from the Eiffel Tower.
We had a little picnic in front the Eiffel Tower complete with cheese, bread, champagne and a few extras.
To ParisSo excited to be a Versailles.
Afterall, it was Marie-Antoinette's official residence.
Eating snails is a lot more difficult for a leftie...

Still at Versailles outside the castle there's a super cute little village.
