Travels & Adventures: Teasers from Bryan's blog :)

The best and most exciting thing that has happened recently was Bryan's visit. For that, it's better to go to HIS blog to read about it in the post after his next post :) All the DELICIOUS pictures we took are on his camera. Are you ready for a sleuth of macaroons, chocolate eggs, duck, pasta, meringue, and world famous ice cream? Follow his exciting adventures here!

So upon getting home from sending Bryan to the airport after the most amazing weekend ever, I was greeted with something peculiar perched on top of my bed stand - something that was very, VERY much out of place. What was it, you ask? Well... it was a laptop. Not my laptop, but BRYAN's laptop. (long sigh).

Anyhow, it wasn't as bad as it could've been. At least he could still go through airport security without his laptop. This morning I took the laptop to the post office and shipped it off to Edinburgh fully equipped with bubble wrap and insurance. Yep, the bubble wrap sure came in handy! So why wasn't this so bad? Because...
1. Bryan's taking advantage of his computer-free time to do some proper exploring of Edinburgh.
2. Well, at least it wasn't his passport. (Now, THAT's a story best told by Bryan as he experienced a life-changing event that has, hopefully, altered his view on Parisians forever).

Some events closer to home:

I decided that the church that I live next to is actually quite famous (like everything in Paris, the #1 tourist city in the world), and decided to venture in.

It was hard to get a focused image - I didn't want to use flash since there were people praying.

In France, they like to erect statues for people they want to remember. This is St. Germain (for whom the church AND the street were named after)

I decided I'd go all out and be touristy. This church symbolizes the street corner that I turn on to go to my little Parisian home, so I wanted a souvenir from it. Luckily, it's easy to find tourist traps when you're looking for one.

I like it.

One more thing that I've gotten quite used to, since it's just across the street from where I live. One day I took a look and realized that it wasn't THAT mundane...
