For Simplicity's Sake

This time, just a few pictures to show you what I have been doing for the past week. To my great dismay, tomorrow will be my last day with the program - after that my parents will be arriving for our tour of "The Best of Paris and the South of France in 15 Days." I absolutely can not wait for that, but at the same time, I am so very unhappy to be leaving Paris. In the 4 weeks that I have been here, learning its history, observing its inhabitants, and most of all enjoying the richessethat life here has to offer, I have come to really love this city. As a good friend of mine said, and I'm sure countless others, Paris is a magical city. By day, by night, food, art, history - Paris has so much to offer, and her citizens pay her due respect by appreciating every moment. As I have.

I have so much more to tell you, about my plans for the future (which have changed), my new excitements, my new apprehensions. But I would rather leave that for another time, and for now, let you appreciate the sights of Paris without distraction. This is how I have seen Paris. And I hope one day, you can fall in love with this city as much as I have.
