Though I'm still battling a nasty cold (I finally gave in and stopped by a pharmacie yesterday and picked up a mini drugstore for myself), I was persuaded to hit up the town for a few hours to celebrate Valentines Day.
First, my foyer-mate (we live in single rooms on the same floor) Vanessa and I found a local pizza place for a quick dinner. The news/weather was on a TV, and we were actually able to follow it! Very exciting.
After getting a teensy bit lost, we found our way to the Latin Quarter, and met up with a bunch of other Central Folk for gelato!

| This is foccacina a la glace- essentially, a hot sweet pastry around gelato. I chose two different gelatos- a Nutella one and a "Speculoos" one, which is like Nutella except tastes like graham cracker crust. I actually liked the Speculoos one a lot better! |
And as we wandered back to our Metro, we passed a few favorite spots and had to camp it up...

What's a nasty little cold when you have valentine's day in Paris with new friends?! Glad you went out!
ReplyDeleteHey babe! Love the updates. Looks like you are having a wonderful time. Words cannot express how jealous I am of your time in Parie. Nor can they express how much I love and miss you. Enjoy, and keep the posts coming.
