9 am, France
Christian,
Wow, this was a long flight! We’re now descending into Paris and my heart is jumping. (I’m not sure if it’s the joy or the terror, but it’s leaping regardless.) I think of you and your fever every time someone asks for the Celsius conversion of the temperature.
You: “What does that mean?”
Me: “I don’t know, maybe like 45 C?”
You: “Oh, dear God, I’m dying.”
My breakfast this morning woke me from a dreaming slumber with the smell of warm croissants. Bienvenue à Paris! That definitely helped my mind become accustomed to the idea that I was far from home but in my new, second home. I hope to eat a lot of croissants on this trip!
We ended up watching “Dinner for Schmucks” last night and it was hysterical; although, I may have been the only one cracking up. It’s really hard to say, really, because I was wearing headphones. That would not be the first time that that had happened, though! You know how I can be.
I was just thinking about things that I want to do outside of school this semester and I made a little list:
· Eat a crepe· Find a favorite café in Rennes
· See Italy
· Visit the south of France (again)
· Swim in the Mediterranean (again)
· Get lost in a library
· Take the metro to a place of which I’ve never heard
· Paint in a castle
· Watch a sunset over the Atlantic
· Try an unknown and unidentifiable food
I can't wait to get started!
Always, Bethany
