I don’t have anything particularly insightful to say right now. I think it is well established that I found many flaws in Paris during my stay there, and that it is not the city of my dreams. That being said, it was still a home to me for the better part of a year, and … Continue reading

Often Overlooked: Église de Saint Sulpice
I think it’s fair to say most of us develop certain habits when our lives fall into a schedule. We get up at the same times, know when we can sit for a few more minutes with coffee and when it’s time to scramble for shoes and keys and get out the door, and take … Continue reading
The Louvre round 2: Renaissance, Africa, and Comedy.
Long overdue, it’s high time I share a bit more of the wonders of the Louvre with you fine folk. My second visit was right behind the first, as I went with Sean when he came to visit just days after my other friend in November. During this visit we took MUCH longer to peruse … Continue reading
Throwback Thursday: Versailles
First and foremost: GO TEAM USA! Ahem. Sorry folks, had to get that out of my system as the USA faces off with Germany today for the chance to continue on in the World Cup. You can bet I’ll be sporting red white and blue and glued to the television come noon! In any case…today’s … Continue reading
La fin de Paris et un “Guest Blog” (with travel tips!)
One week ago today I touched down in Indianapolis. It already feels like an absolute lifetime ago. I’ve a had week of catching up with friends, lazily reading for hours on end, sad attempts at organizing my disaster of a room (filled with boxes and bags from moving in and out over the last few … Continue reading

No fears, I will go back and post about all of the adventures I’ve had this spring in France as well as England and Scotland … Continue reading
Foire du Trône funfair and goodbye parties!
So many adventures have happened in the last two weeks I’m genuinely overwhelmed by the thought of how to recap them all on this blog. Sometimes I just get swamped by my own overzealous-ness with my camera and wanderings and desire to record EVERY SINGLE DETAIL, you know? My laptop is ACTUALLY pretty much out … Continue reading
The Busy Bee
Well, I’ve fallen off the map again, as generally seems to happen when I begin to wrap up an experience. Mini-adventures and bits of work and endless task lists keep appearing for me to take care of, and I’ve been bopping about a fair bit recently as a result and not had time to dedicate … Continue reading
Suddenly, Sunshine! (Picnics, spring, and a British birthday.)
One week, it was anywhere from chilly to flat out cold with winds, clouds on and off, and occasionally some rain. Then suddenly with no warning, sunshine. Sunshine and warmth and SPRING swept into Paris in early March like a whirlwind, and I am happy to say that so far there are few signs of … Continue reading
A Day at the Races: Guest posting again!
Hello all! As you might have noticed, I haven’t written a post yet on my trips to the south after the brief introduction. I’m working on that, I promise, but I’m having a very busy couple of weeks with some deadlines and events coming up, so it may take a few more days yet. In … Continue reading
