lets see where did i leave off...ah yes, Paris (in my head i'm saying pareeeeeeee), the city of love, art, and drunken late-night crepes (banana and nutella...mmmmmm take me back). i was there for 3 nights and stayed with my wisco buddy becky and her roomie karah, and got to spend time with my homegirl elaine and her twin lauren (april 1-4 in praha whatupppp). also got to see katie and libby haaaaaaay. it was so good to be with my people after a month of travels on our own. i got
in on thursday morning, bright 
and early, from my 6am flight (no i did not sleep that night...i know, i'm such a trooper) and met becky, elaine, karah, libby, katie at their school. we went to this aMaZiNg falafel place in Le Marais (the jewish quarter) called L'as du, then elaine, lauren and i went on a stroll down the Champs-Élysées, stopped for a photo op at Arc de Triomphe, and got some sweets at Laduree - deeeeelish!!! 
[photos included] that night we ate dinner at this awesome fondu place where they serve wine in baby bottles!!!! so cool. the wine was terrible but the experience was irreplaceable. friday we went to the eiffel tower, walked around a neighborhood called St. Germaine, and cooked dinner at becky & karah's place. we went out to a bunch of different places and just had fun being tipsy and silly together. saturday we went to the biggest flea market in the world. i got a coffee mug with an eiffel tower on it (collecting mugs from every city!) and a scarf. it was a little overwhelming and we all felt like we were being pickpocketed every step of the way...but good times overall. went out again to some awesome bars. the one downside of paris is the fact that everything is SO expensive...it makes having fun a little harder. but when you do its ohsosweet. sunday we went to the Musee de Maillol, where there was an exhibit entirely about representation of skulls in art throughout history. andy warhol, picasso, damien hirst, keith harring are just a few of the artists that were represented. very cool overall.my adventures in paris were wonderful - couldn't have asked for a better getaway weekend :)
au revoir,
juuuuuuuuulia
