Day One in Paris= Great Success
My flight was actually pretty enjoyable, long, but alright! Thanks to my dear Tara, I snacked on trail mix and chocolate while watching Bridesmaids! I had a brief layover in Iceland (just long enough for me to eat Icelandic yogurt for breakfast...delicious!) Harlan met me at the airport, flowers in hand. Then we took the train home. Our apartment is just how I imagined it would be (only smaller... hahaha...how is that possible). The shower is tiny and the hot water lasts for literally four minutes. (I know, I know, shut up you are getting to live in Paris!) After eating yogurt and baguette I slept for six hours! We had take-out tacos for dinner- not very Parisian, but very very delicious. This morning we slept in and then went our for brunch at this little place right next door to us. While the food in the cafe was delicious, the experience was much more terrifying than I had imagined it to be. I have been so focused on getting to Paris that the fact that I don't speak any french had not really hit me... OH MY GOD I DON'T SPEAK ANY FRENCH. I have no idea what I am going to do when Harlan is not with me. Anyway, after lunch we went shopping and sightseeing around our neighborhood. It is really wonderful here!
