Ali est Arrivée!

Check out my new favorite blog! New York vs. Paris...The picture below is one of my favorites. The entire blog is these little images that compare difference aspects of life in Paris and New York. This one is "l'obsession," or the city's big fad.

l'obsession

Yesterday my art class went to Musée Marrmarrton to see Monet's works and I hate to say it, but I am so over impressionism....

Which is why I just booked my train ticket and am stopping in Italy! I thought I was over the Renaissance, but I find myself missing the perspective-less, proportionless, Madonna and Childs that characterize the early Renaissance days. Not to mention that Leonardo and I haven't spoken in a while...anything to remember the world outside impressionism.

Im off to the airport to pick up my roommate, Ali, who, as we realized last night via skye, is in the words of Samantha Jones, "my soulmate." I don't know anyone else who managed to see the same person three times while studying abroad, but we managed a honeymoon in Sicily, a visit to Prague, and now Paris! I guess its my longest relationship yet - we are going on 3 years!

Must run to pick Ali up the official "WELCOME TO PARIS" snack  for when she gets off the plane...a chocolate croissant!
