Adventures in Paris

Paris might be freezing and gray but it’s still beautiful.  I’ve been on quite a few adventures since moving here and when I’m not studying my days are filled with new activities.    Earlier this month I visited one of my favorite museums, the Musée d’Orsay with all the amazing impressionist and post-impressionist paintings.  I have gone on long walks around the city, stopping for a cup of chocolat chaud and some much needed warmth.  I attended a gala in a silk LBD that I just happened to bring along, and I have visited some classic Parisian cafés for some good old French comfort food.  Here are some pics of everything I’ve been up to.  I can’t wait for warmer weather and more adventures!

Printemps.  Why don’t department store ceilings look like this in the US?

Chocolat Chaud.  I love that it comes unsweetened and you add sugar!
