This is such a wonderful and hilarious recounting of your adventures!!

Love,
Vivian

igno-bob: i don’t always retain all the details, but the experience lives on…

kristiana: the statute of limitations has run out, so now i’m finally allowed to talk about it.

marty: thanks! you should totally add paris to the list – i think it’s just beautiful.

This is why I suspected your word “memorable” was worth asking about.

hello haha narf: thanks – it was a blast! and that cat was pretty cool.

dave: as i recall, there’s still a little bit of scaffolding on the north side, but not enough to ruin photos.

igno-bob: actually, my friends and i have been trying to remember each of the courses we ate, so that might be a fun entry to write. stay tuned…

don: ah, grasshopper. but can you walk on the rice paper without leaving a footprint?

churlita: it was really a great time. and i’m telling you – economy plus is totally worth it on an 8-hour flight!

claire: the apartment was really great – and it was so nice to have a refrigerator for all our smelly cheese and delicious pastries!

shari: you know, i can’t remember the dog’s name – he was a total sweetheart though! and i’d be more than happy to chat with you about studying overseas. it was definitely one of the most important experiences i’ve ever had.

How did I miss knowing that you’d studied in Paris for a time? That’s awesome! Someday I’d like to get more of your perspective on studying abroad, since our daughter is considering doing so. Any trips out to Portland or Seattle anytime soon?

Love the idea of renting an apartment instead of a hotel. Infinitely more homey, I’m sure.

Even things that would kill me, like my allergies at a perfume museum, sound entertaining in your words. Thanks so much for sharing the stories and photos!
