Keep Calm & Carry On

Hey everyone! So, I realized I never made a post about my weekend trip to London. Although I'm a bit short on time at the moment because I'm working on my 30-page mémoire de stage (due in a week!), I do want to at least share some photos with you:

Here's the link to my facebook album, which I've made public so everyone can see it.

Me, Abby, Sydney, and Dan: our attempt at the classic Abbey  Road picture!

 In London I invested in some nice dress shirts, of which I'm very proud! Classy!

In other exciting news, this past week, on Tuesday, Dan, who is currently interning with US Commercial Service invited me to visit and take a tour of the residence of the U.S. Ambassador to France and Monaco, Charles H. Rivkin. We were only permitted to take pictures inside the house (and the one just below, which was taken from the back garden)...it's just the front entryway which cannot be photographed, from my understanding. So, I'm only posting a couple pictures from the visit, but they gave everyone who visited a book with pictures of all the rooms and gardens and the artwork inside the house, which I'd be happy to show to anyone who's interested.

Back of the ambassador's residence.

They have a gorgeous garden, where they also grow organic vegetables!

Tonight, I'm seeing a production of Sweeney Todd at the The Théâtre du Châtelet!

Well, that's all for now, folks. Though for those of you not keeping track, I'm coming home in 8 1/2 days on Monday, May 23rd! I have mixed feelings about it, as is probably to be expected. I'm excited to see my family and friends again, but sad to leave this city...

I'm happy to say that while I've had mixed feelings about the degree to which I love Paris, I don't think I've ever taken it for granted.
