life couldn't get too much better right now. as i ate my breakfast this morning, i noticed that the rain looked a little different than normal. needless to say, it was not rain at all, but snow. good thing i didnt decide to break in my new boots- they would have gotten dirty on their first outing.
its quite cozy, the snow in paris. i stopped at a boulangerie on my way to school through the blizzard, waving bonjour to the baker behind the window as he kneaded the next loaf, and buying a delicious apple-filled sugar-covered bread. i couldnt get over the fact that the windows were actually fogging up- none of this fake spray-on fog that we do to give the impression of warmth- this was real, bread-baking/snow falling window fog. if only i had had a pumpkin spice latte at the time, too. just kidding.
last weekend was switzerland. youd think it would have been snowing there, too, but no, just the ultimate cold front accompanied by reckless wind. had i not brought my hat or gloves, guaranteed i would now have two of each. but courtney and i loaded up on chocolate, and i also bought...a puzzle. BECAUSE WHO DOESN'T LOVE PUZZLES?!?! so i warned everyone that if they dont see me for several hours- or days- on end, please come tear me from my puzzle. way too addicting.
all the people who highly recommended the seine boat cruise were not exaggerating AT ALL. last night, gonzaga paid for a 97euro dinner cruise, beginning with amazing kir, followed by an appetizer, entree, and the best chocolate dessert i can think of ever having. this little triangle that bursted with flavor from the crispy bottom to the moosy middle and the chocolaty covering. heaven. worth the effort right there. going with the fam again on christmas, and am looking forward to the dessert most of all, unsurprisingly.
speaking of the family, THE PARENTS COME ON SUNDAY! i have never been so excited. it will not be a lazy morning, since their flight gets in at 635am, but i would never leave them stranded so ill be waking up soon before then to take the RER [as long as there is no strike] to CDG.
nap time.
