goodbye paris... for now

Tuesday through Friday in Paris were filled with more fun, food, and sight-seeing. I am lagging a bit on the blogging... so this one is gonna be a quickie.

Let's see, Tue, May 2: no clue what i did during the day... i know i went out, 'cause i was supposed to prepare the crepes' batter, and i left a note about going walking and hopefully being back ontime... but where did i go without my camera...? probably walked about st denis. oh, to buy saffron. then ingredients for lasagna. and i walked to a local park, and then back through a Cemetery, where a guy told me to go a diff way 'cause he had just closed the gates. We spent the night making crepes, with a bunch of people over.

Wed, May 3: met with irina to go to parc st cloud. pretty, and huge. walking through it, we talked about living in paris, expenses, taxes, salary... then guys, relationships, people... then she had to go to work, so i got onto the tram and went to the defense on my own. then back home and made rice with saffron.

Thu, May 4: woke up late to make lasagna. prepared sauce, then went out for a last day of sight-seeing in Paris. Original plan: Musee Orsay, Notre Dame, Pompidour. First was mobbed so i didnt go it. Second i went in and was disappointed. third didn't have time to go in, but it was actually cool to walk around it, really nice area of paris. got back early to finish lasagna, which came out too pasta-y! :( but sauce was good... :D

Fri, May 5: last day! woke up too late, ran around st denis to buy a gift, flowers and vase, then ran to the train station to meet ana, who saw me off. hugs and goodbyes and a promise to come back :)

For time's sake, I condensed all pics in one page.
