~paris~

 now i can see how some people become

obsessed with france. it's as quaint and

fan~cy as all the books + movies make it seem.

the streets, bakeries, sights, smells

result in constant sensory overload

(in a good way).

 i was admiring this puff of nasturtiums, so i waved
& to my delight, the elderly man waved back!

 musee rodin! i got to see the Thinker

and Burghers of Calais in person :D

parisian markets are so much fun. i bought a mini

wheel of goat cheese from a fromagerie in the

town of versailles and ate it on the train
with a baguette (that had a "symphony of crackle")
we also ate some snails;

they oozed in butter and garlic.

this sandwich had 2 of my favorite things:

goat cheese + eggplant.

the luxembourg gardens was eerily PERFECT.

every flowerbed and hedge was trimmed to perfection.
