i snapped this lil tour d'eiffel photo during the summer my friend alexandra jeanette [that was her long, frenchy name. otherwise, people call her alex. my long, frenchy name was anne charlotte, which is also my long, bloggy name. clearly we embraced the make-believe culture of chic european...names- considering we spent our time there in hoodies and backpacks. oh and scarves, phew. scarves are tres parisienne. am i still in a bracket??!] spent studying in aix en provence. since then, i've fallen for other countries, too [most of them i've not been to though, of course]. but france has always been my truest, best, firstest love. the pastries, the people, the pastries, the drama of the language, the cherries from the market and the cheese and the wine and oh, the pastries, the lavender fields, the art, the pastries, the music, the stripes, and...so on so forth.
what would today be like...if you were in PARIS right now?
or, is there somewhere else you pretend to be? where?

Mark was in Paris LAST Thursday so I can totally answer this question. First, we'd go visit both of the Apple Stores in Paris because they are works of art in themselves, then go to the Louvre, then eat bread and pastries, then go to the Eiffel Tour, then have a long French dinner, then finish the night with a moonlit cruise down the Seine River. Sound good? I'm insisting that he take me back with him the next time so we can relive it together.
cute renovation to your site :)
i JUST told my parents last night,
"UGH. i wanna move to paris."
that city is so hard to get out of your head!
i'd be willing to do anything just to roam the seine, the streets, stare at the PASTRIES (which, seriously, i eat a croissant like every week and say to myself, "french women eat these every day..."), and fall in love or something. LET'S MOVE TO PARIS.
