Paris avec Dane

I am sitting on the train back to Nantes… I just spent the weekend in Paris with Dane.  Can you believe that he flew all the way to France just to see me?!

He was here for 8 days.  We just spent the weekend in Paris and it was like something out of a dream.  Now that I am on my way back I just feel like it was all a dream.  I had so much fun with him.  The whole week was just a lot of fun…no matter what we did.  

It was too bad that I had school for the entire week in Nantes, but we were still able to make time for each other and then after we got to Paris it was nice to not have anything to think about except for being there with him.

We went up the Eiffel Tower at night and it was really amazing.  Notre Dame was beautiful…Dane was having too much fun with some birds literally like off of Home Alone and that bird lady and one of my favourites was when we went to the Sacre Coeur.  It was so nice to just walk along the Seine and talk, eat crepes and chocolate and stop, look at each other and laugh because we have done everything completely backwards in our relationship! We have a really interesting story of how we ended up together and I think it could make a great book someday!

Some really funny things happened.  Dane was called “blue eyed friend” by a street merchant and I was called “sexy lady” and “miss Canada” – not bad names for me right? Haha.  Then we bought an Eiffel tower statue and after that we were being attacked left and right to buy more stuff…and one guy tried to sell Dane and I matching Eiffel Tower watches (his and her).  Dane was laughing pretty hard and he said… Now we can experience Paris forever.  It totally reminded us both of something that The Price is Right would advertise. 

The metro constantly smelled like urine and there was even barf on the ground! I think Dane had a really great impression of the metro!

Most of all, it was just so much fun to spend every minute with each other.  When I am with Dane I feel like I am with my best friend.  How lucky of a girl am I, that a guy would fly all the way to France just to see me…and then we get to spend time in PARIS!

Now I am back in Nantes… back to uni and back to the books for me.  I of course have had some time to reflect again, and I just feel so incredibly grateful and lucky to be me right now.  I only have 10 more days left in Nantes, then I am off to Paris and then Germany for my last few weeks here.  I am trying to appreciate and take every little thing in around me.  I am sitting in the library right now and its trying to snow outside.  The first day of December.  How fitting.  It’s realllly cold outside and it makes me really excited for Christmas and for all the things that Christmas brings. 

Bisous! xx.
