dad!


my dad came to visit me in paris over the weekend! he was on his way from london to germany and decided to stop in and hang out for a bit.

he arrived on friday night and i ventured over to the 11th arrondisement to get a (very late) dinner. we went to a crowded, noisy little restaurant that was decorated in an art nouveau style. beautiful. finally, after gabbing for a bit, i jumped back on the metro, and luckily i made it on the last train of the night.

saturday morning, i had a lecture on romanticism at the louvre and met up with dad afterwards. from the louvre, we went to the Marche aux Pouces (flea market) at St. Ouen on the very north side of the city and then trekked all the way to the Paris Jazz Festival at the Parc Floral on the very east side of the city. After a few acts, we left to go to mass a Sacre Coeur and listened to the nuns sing. We walked around the Montmartes area around Sacre Coeur and eventually went back to the Left Bank to St Michel to get dinner after a very full day!

What fun you're having--and what a nice dad (good-looking, too). Glad you are making memories for a lifetime. Sounds like you're working hard. Hope you have time to relax as well.
