Tough days...Tough, tough days...

My last few days in Paris have been on my own lounging around in the sun along the river and in parks. Summer has unofficially started in Paris. The days are warm, the parks are filled with flowers and the trees covered in cherry blossoms. The kids are out playing in water parks and the coats have come off and the ice cream parlors have opened.
My friend Alexis (it is a boy's name in French hehe) came to visit for a couple of days from Normandy but left today for an urgent business meeting. Last night I sat along the river with my book and some sorbet until the sun set and then stopped by the boulangerie to get a baguette for dinner. The day before I went to the park and sat in the sun with a few beers and people watched. There were a lot of dogs out and I think that was the best entertainment for the afternoon. So many dogs excited to be out with their owners and so many Parisian owners unaware of what they got themselves into. Parisians don't really like to be energetic and fun, haha, sorry for that generalization...maybe it's all those cigarettes they smoke.

Today I'm going to do the same thing and finish up with my packing. I've managed to get al my stuff into a small suitcase and a backpack. Not back, right? I think the fact that I brought 2/3 of the stuff home when I went back for my root canal might have helped a little. Anyway time for me to get myself up and out the door. It's my last official day in Paris so let's make it a good one.

Love to all! xxx
