Paris was graced with a terrifyingly large thunderstorm last night, the thunder rolled with such grandeur I actually woke up, which is saying something since I have been told I sleep like a rock. The morning dawned with innocent fluffy white in the sky, so I thought it safe to venture out...only to be a good 4 districts from home when the rain started to fall again and hard. So I returned to my humble abode, exiting the metro, I huddled with some other drenched Parisians under a flower shop awning before finally running the last 2 blocks to my front door. I took some time to ring out my hair, change from my skirt into some pants, and grab a bit of lunch. Few hours later checked the sky to once again see nothing but white fluff, thought myself safe from further downpour so decided to mail some letters, pick up some groceries, and check out a second hand record store I had heard about. Nearly home when the sky starts to let loose yet again! Luckily I had an umbrella this time, but had worn the sandals, they are both recovering in the entryway.
Now just updating you : ) and trying to get some of the last bit of summer HW done, aka, my two rather long french papers, want to get something finished before the cousin gets here! He is flying standby, so hopefully in the next 24 hours or so I will get to pick him up from the airport. Please be praying for safe and peaceful journeys for us, we will be heading west to do some camping on a french beach for a week next Tuesday, I hope this rain finally lets up!
Some pics of the backside of Notre Dame during the evening, I get to see it fairly often, since its not terribly far from the apt.
much, much love from the slightly damp in Paris : )
