After multiple admonishments from friends and family alike, I'm finally updating my blog. I suppose I'm not much of a blogger for the same reason that I'm not much of a picture taker. I'm too busy actually doing stuff to document what I'm doing! Anyways, I'll give you the condensed version of what has happened over the last month or so in several installments.
My first trip after St. Patrick's Day was Paris! Even though I'd already been there with my family, I enjoyed making another trip to see the lovely Marie, who is studying in Italy this semester. She and several of her friends traveled up to London and then to Paris for their spring break. After being separated from Marie for several months, a "run and hug" was in order when we first saw each other. We had a lovely 3 days, surrounded by the magic of Paris and friendship (this sounds cheesy but it's totally true).
A highlight was getting to visit Versailles. I now understand why the French people found it necessary to revolt. The place was disgustingly extravagant...but at the same time I absolutely loved it. I've never seen so much gold or statues in my life.

Paris may not be my favorite city, but Marie is one of my favorite people, so the trip was more than worthwhile. We had breakfast on the banks of the Seine and navigated the city like true Parisians. Call us Coco Chanel and Edith Piaf.
