Les visiteurs


I was so fortunate last week to have my life (and my couch) packed with visitors from the US. Mia and Paavana came in from New York just in time to utterly distract me from my first week of classes. 

We had a lot of fun sightseeing... 
Paavana and Mia at Versailles
Mia's been reading up on how to own a castle and is ready for her royal portrait.

shopping...
This is the interior of a French department store
going out...
Paavana finds the secret to making my hair curl!!
 and eating wonderful French food.

Goat cheese flavored potato chips
All of the cheese!
On the down side, I'm pretty sure they're now plotting to steal my cat.
Minidou is ready to leave me anyways, since Paavana has more fun games on her iPad.
Heaven also came to visit! She's known me since we were 11 and represents pretty much everything I want to be in life. Namely, she's been traveling through Europe for three weeks in a J.Crew puffer jacket.

A WHITE J. Crew puffer jacket. So chic.
 To celebrate, there was more eating and more sightseeing.
Truffle risotto from Jadis
I swear I didn't instagram this. My iPhone camera just has an artistic will of its own.

It also snowed in Paris last week, so we had to go out and play in the fresh powder.

Le metro
Mike at Sacré Coeur
Heaven is confused by snowballs.
All in all, it was a wonderful week. Reality has been hitting me pretty hard as I go to classes this week without all of the fun distractions. Because this was pretty much my attitude towards school last week:
This is a monkey riding a goat. Self-explanatory.
