Tuesday, February 2

so apparently

it's been exactly two years since I landed in Paris. At least that's what my friends who also studied abroad there keep telling me on facebook. Which means it's been two years since the start of the best three months of my life (so far). Honestly, I had forgotten it was today.

So to honor that monumental day, two years ago, sitting on the plane thinking what did I get myself into, here's a few photos that show that it was worth it.

Warning: I say "few" very loosely. I started looking through these photos and got a little carried away!

The first photo I took. Near the Champs Elysees.

I loved all the street markets. And nothing beats fresh flowers.

Brandon decided to join us on the left. And then there's Sam-and-or-antha, moi, Sophie/Quasi, Kels, and Karissa. My partners in crime.



Je t'aime Paris,
vous avez saisi mon coeur et ne laisserez pas aller.

  2. gorgeous photos, lady!! i love the bright colors! i have been once, only for a few days. it was during the winter & definitely lacked the loveliness that you have captured. all i can remember is being at the top of the eiffel tower at night, thinking i was going to die from the cold!!! but it was still pretty breathtaking. :)
