Rain, Rain, Go Away!

Do you ever wake up in the morning and just feel like dancing? That's how I felt this morning, so to get myself energized for the day I put on some Akon and had myself a little one-person dance party in the apartment!

Today wasn't too eventful. I spent all morning doing laundry and cleaning so that I'll be all set for my upcoming trip on Thursday. I made myself breakfast and put on Aladdin and The King of Thieves to play in the background while I packed and ironed. Gotta love YouTube Disney movies! After I put my last load in the wash, I embarked on a four-hour walk all around the city. I walked along the Seine until I hit the Eiffel Tower and then found my way home by meandering through uncommon streets and discovering some really cool areas in the city! I eventually got back to Bastille just in time to take a quick nap before having to get ready for dinner.

Tonight I'm meeting Fiona and Alain for dinner at La Derrière in Les Marais. I actually haven't met them yet because they were unable to attend the bar night last week, but we're all part of the online expat group and from the conversations we've had they seem really nice and fun. Fiona is from Ottawa and Alain is Parisian. I think they're both a bit older than me but nonetheless I'm excited to finally meet them!

That's it for today. Tomorrow I'm taking the train to Grenoble. I really hope the weather is nice because there is apparently an amazing view of the city from the top of the mountain. Stay tuned!
