As I blog, I am listening to my new French music I have downloaded on Itunes. I wanted French music to play while I do my homework, drink wine, and nibble on a baguette. It's tres bon and relaxing!
Today was un autre jour magnifique! We went up to Montmarte, one of my favorite parts of Paris. It is home to my favorite church, Sacre Coeur. It is the breathtaking, white, dome-shaped church on the hill you see in pictures of Paris. It sits of top of this enormous hill, so when you climb the millions of stairs to get to the top, you can see the whole ville! It's also home to the Moulin Rogue, and several adorable petites rues for wandering, manger, and buying art! After admiring the gorgeous alter in the church, we headed to the place for la dejeuner! We shopped around all the artists, and mere et pere bought two petit painting for the house! They are so great because the little french women who painted it herself wraps it up for you! How bon of her!
The cuteness of the rues of Montmarte is out of control. I hope to spend many a Saturday afternoon there, admiring the artists and laying on the hill eating a crepe and looking on the city I am so in love with, and then going into Sacre Couer to thank God that I am here!
We also went to Places des Vosges today, where there are some seriously amazing art galleries, but they are seriously cher aussi! We walked up a rue of all the most wonderful shops du monde until we reached mon apartement, and went it to visit! I am moving in there tomorrow because I cannot stand to not be living there anymore! The cuteness and frenchness is calling to me!
I had saumon au tartare ce soir pour diner at Ma Bourgonne et oh la la - c'etait delicieux! Ma Bourgonne is known for their beouf tartare, but raw beef is not so much my things. Mais, the salmon version is quite enjoyable and this particular preparation, served with these frizzeled onion strings, was out of this monde! I got to parle en francais avec l'homme du restuarant for awhile about how awesome it was!
Orientation begins demain, so I need my rest! I need to arrive looking impossibly french and chouette so no one can tell I am americane!

Your blog thoroughness leads me to believe you could have a wonderful career as a journalist. But that would involve office time, so we all know that will never happen!
ReplyDeleteSo great to see you're having such an amazing time. I'm so happy to read it. More pics of the blonde parisienne s'il te plait!
