Quartier Saint-Germain-des-Prés

Bonjour !

My biggest takeaways from today
1. French bandaids are much better than American ones
2. French ice cream is much better than American ice cream
3. French gardens are much better than American gardens
4. Diabetes can make your toes go numb

Alright besides that, today was a mad dash all over town. We began our day at school, as per usual, and Maddie and Abby showed me this new route with a cool wall mural. It was a really fun class! Afterwards, we headed to cafe de Flore for lunch. I know this place is famous, but I was just a tiny bit underwhelmed. I think it make be more famous for its history and pastries/coffee than food, but I’m still glad we went.

We all meandered around town after lunch on our way to Shakespeare & Company, and stopped to get some flower-shaped ice cream. We all tried some unique flavors and (most) of them were super delicious. The gelato and sorbet here is always so flavorful and smooth. We stopped at Le Labo, one of my favorite perfume stores, and I somehow stopped myself from buying anything. We eventually made it to the bookstore, but there was about a 50 person line so we dipped.

However, the fomo quickly set in. After working on some homework for awhile, we decided to go right before close and hopefully avoid a line. This was overall a successful plan, but 15 minutes is definitely not enough time to be there so we plan on going back. Lindy also immediately lost the book she bought for her dad so we are going to retrace our steps anyways.

Lastly, we got some really cool shirts but it’s a surprise, so stay tuned.

I ended my day with some homework and left over pasta, and a very content heart.

Au revoir !!Weiterlesen
