La nuit

As spring settles over Paris, she brings flowers and sunshine (as well as the occasional inexplicable rain shower, especially if one is without an umbrella) and late sunrises. All of which make studying difficult, but enjoying the company of others and the beauty of the city easier.

Combining the ability to enjoy the outdoors AND the company of comrades has become the new endeavor. Examples of how to combine the streets of Paris and fun with friends include sitting on the steps of Sacre Coeur to watch the evening light over Paris (apologies again to the man who's bottle opener we borrowed and didn't return, if you still want it, please let us know) as well as rooftop get-togethers. A close friend has 'direct' access to his roof (and by direct I mean climbing through his next door neighbor's TINY window), where we recently spent a lovely bonfire night while surrounded by the glowing monuments of Paris.

We all hope to make the most of the short time left to us in Paris... Its hard to think of leaving not only such an amazing locale, but all the people with whom I've bonded since arriving in June. I'll just have to come back ;)
