Sure, I may have had a whole lot of reading to do for class (which I did do, eventually), but I couldn't have asked for a more perfect Sunday.

Ah yes, Sundays in France (and most of Europe, for that matter) can be frustrating. But it can also be a blessing, as it forces you to be better organised during the week so you can spend quality time with people you love and explore places and things in the city that you normally wouldn't have time to appreciate! I'm all for embracing this concept. :)
ReplyDeleteAnyhow, just wanted to stop by and say hi!!

Thanks so much for the hello! I agree, it is a (frustrating) blessing. Case in point: everything above :)
DeleteI've been enjoying reading your blog posts about life in Paris, especially since I'm currently abroad for studying myself! While I'm in Italy not France, the stores here are pretty much closed on Sundays, as well as during midday in the week. It's pretty strange, but I'm going to try and get the most out of it, even if it means more studying ;)
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a great time in Paris!
I'm so glad. Enjoy Italy! It's certainly an adjustment, but hopefully for the better. I'm finding more time to study, too!
