After a long movie-less flight (the TVs were broken along with the reading lights), I made it safely to Paris. Sunny warm day here. My wonderful friend David, who is getting married in a few weeks, picked me up.
Since it's only been 6 months, I found myself surprisingly not ooowing and awwing at every road sign that said Paris, or every building, store or boulangerie. It's a strangely nice to just feel "normal" about being back and not be having intense emotional reactions at every corner. We stopped by the Café la Sèvrienne for a quick coffee and croissant. Lovely and delicious.
Comme c'est bon.
The good news is: I still know how to speak French. Also: cheese is so good and i have really good friends.
