The last week...

Sorry! I've been a total blog slacker... I'm going to blame it on the weather - It's so gray and snowy and cold. I really don't feel like doing much of anything besides reading and drinking tea. And Kait was here, so she was pretty distracting (in the best possible way, of course!)

I will fully admit to having the memory of a goldfish, so the writing of this post will not be that lengthy, but there are plenty of photos! Except my camera took a tumble at the concert and hasn't quite regained its full function - We got this shot before that though.



The rest of the night was super fun and a lot more crazy than my usual days of museum-going and pastry-eating. Its kind of nice to party once in a while - I usually feel a lot older than my 23 years, so its a good reminder I've got some of my youth left. I think that same day we went to Pompidou... I'm not a huge contemporary art fan but I'm glad I finally went. Mostly just because the escalator was so cool and there's a really good view from the top floor.







Afterwards we just walked around. I found a store with my name but unfortunate spelling, and there's also a pastry named after Caroline, my brother's girlfriend (spelled correctly!)







We went to Versailles and it was seriously magical. The palace itself was cool to see but walking around the gardens was just incredible. It was pretty much freezing but the light was amazing. There was a little bit of snow on the ground and hardly anybody was there. It felt like we were in our own fantasy land. We went to the Grand and Petit Trianon, but the best was the little faux-village that Marie Antoinette had built. There were little bridges and swans and a sunset... it was one the most beautiful things I've ever seen and a total highlight of my entire experience here.



It was soooo cold...






This is for my friend Angelica because she likes to weave, I'm pretty sure this is her dream spot...
