This weekend has been lovely.

Saturday I hung out with Becca in the morning and watched project runway...but mostly just listened to her sing and play guitar. I appreciate musically inclined people so much. She's just too cool.
In the afternoon I went to Le Marais again to browse some vintage shops. I got a dress and a skirt for quite a bargain. I've been to all the vintage stores in Le Marais that the Cherry Blossom Girl recomended. Partly because it's really unique and cheap shopping, and partly because I want to meet run into her at her favorite stores and become her best friend and muse...If you're reading this, Alix...I'll meet you at Mamz’Elle Swing tomorrow at 12.

Saturday night we all went to L'Antidote at Place Monge again. It's always fun there and we always end up meeting cool people. We made friends with the bouncer and his posse so...that's good, right?

Yesterday was a lovely Sunday...we all went to the Eiffel Tower in the morning and I chose to walk up the stairs rather than take the elevator. Such a good choice. There are about 660 stairs to the second level, and it was tiring and I was sweating as usual, but it was so beautiful to be feeling the fresh air and really getting to take my time to enjoy the view of the city. We got to the top and took pictures til my face hurt from smiling.

In the late afternoon we hd a picnic in the park across the street, and then we went to a pub right by Notre Dame called The Great Canadian to watch AMERICAN football HOORAH. I actually got to watch a bit of the Sox game too. I was so happy to be just surrounded by AMERICA for a few hours. The pub was just filled with American ex-pats and students who wanted to see a game.

We chatted with 3 groups of people who were in the early 30's and had moved to Paris for work. They all we saying how studying abroad while in college was the best decision of their lives and they were really pushing us to live it up everyday.

That was my weekend. I post pictures soon.
Gotta go write a paper. Woof.

Love,

Erica
