in the last 9 days I...

• ate 2 nutella crepes
• spent 9 hours waiting for a plane in Cleveland
• saw Paris from at least 4 tall monuments
• ...and hiked up over 2000 stairs (probably more than that) to do so
• bought more gifts for J than things for myself
• met my annual quota for museum visits (for the next 3 years)
• saw the Eiffel Tower sparkle, once in the park, many times from our apartment window
• ran all over the city of Paris
• typed on a French keyboard (had a hard time finding the ' and ?)
• got offered and accepted a new job
• learned to navigate the Metro like a pro
• got to actually use my French. With people who actually speak French. For real.
• had an amazing vacation with my mom and sister!

THANKS MOM AND DAD!!!!!!!!!!! :)
