The NON-Paris

Well, As i no longer live in Paris, this post should not technically fall under "La Vie a Paris" (The Life in Paris) but nevertheless I thought I would quick upload some pics for all of you losers who are still checking this blog....

Quick Recap:
My french final went AWESOME. I am 100% sure that I passed it as most of the questions were similar to "What is the opposite of hot" (the answer is froid...). Matthew arrived in Paris the for the last week and thankfully darling Claire was nice enough to venture to DeGaulle with me due to my intense dislike of airports. Saturday, after freaking out about perhaps missing our train to Germany, I took my final and sent Matthew to the new Pirates. Faked sick to get out early - got to the Gare and of course our train was delayed. Finally made it to Strasbourg and were met by our two German Lovers - Max and Axel. Spent a wonderful few days in Offenburg and even got to go to a World Cup Mountain Bike race in the rain. Came back to Paris on the start of my third decade - ended our Parisian dinning at the same restaurant where it began and then raced to the Tour to see it sparkle one last time. Said some tearful "see you laters" (thanks for putting up with that Matthew - yes, i know you're still reading this even though you were there) and then called it "study abroad". Thursday Matthew and I went to the French Open which was pretty darn sweet and then on Friday my two bags of approximately 70 and 40lbs were dragged to the airport with me. After a relatively painless 9 hour flight we arrived back on US soil and I appropriately turned on the cell phone and started making calls. Upon pulling into 2231 Glendale Rd I was suprised with a most BEAUTIFUL boquet of flowers thanks to the other half of Parisian heart - Claire Clift. Today marks one week of being back in the States which has pretty much consisted of skiing, barefooting (on to longline), graduation and graduation parties, running, and the greenhouse. Oh and girls - I think I'm breaking the five week plan...
