Week twelve: (Four) Americans in Paris

April 8th, 2013 mpwhit14

Audrey Hepburn said, “Paris is always a good idea”… and oh, was she right.  I saved Paris for my last trip of the semester, not for any particular reason except that I was terrified to go, since I don’t speak a lick of French!  When I got to Paris, that really did prove to be a challenge, but somehow we managed – and Paris was incredibly lovely anyway.

Here we are, taking Paris by storm!

The weekend was freezing and foggy, but it was freezing and foggy in PARIS.  My friends and I spent most of our time just walking through the streets and, more importantly, eating.

Obligatory "try the escargot" adventure.

And eating.

The macaroons were probably (no, definitely) my favorite part.

Consequently, all of my pictures are of streets and food.

All of the buildings are just ASKING to be photographed!

And then, halfway through my trip, my camera died!  How disappointing.

Can we just take a minute to talk about how this was my last trip of the year?  My last trip.  I have seen so much this year.  I have done so much.  And now, it has hit me quite fully that my great adventure is coming to an end… imminently.

Wow.

I have just about a month to relish my time in Rome, and you know I will make every second count.  But then, it’s back to the Hill – and I am so excited to see campus again!  Holy Cross has been my home away from home since the first day I walked down the halls of Fenwick… I cannot wait to be home.
