So I'm in love. His name is France. I plan on spending the rest of my life with him. End of discussion.
But for real! The second I landed in Paris, I pretty much died and went to heaven. I didn't even know it was possible to love a place so much. However, getting over here was not super ideal. That is a
long time to be on a plane! (crossing through 8 time zones doesn't help much either). I left Idaho Falls at 3:10pm (mountain time) and got to Paris at 11:10am (Paris time). So that was fun....but between movies and sleeping, I got along alright. Not something I'm looking forward to doing again though. But once I was on solid ground, everything was just fantastic....until I got into a shuttle with a crazy Parisian driver! Seriously, it's worse than driving in Utah! I survived though!
Paris is beautiful! Everything is so old (in a good way) and has so much history! It's crazy pretty!! But there are so many people!! A few too many for my taste, but what can ya do? Oh and the food!! So

many delicious carbs! I've probably eaten more carbs in the last four days than is healthy to eat in four months...but you know, it's whatevs. I also walk like seven miles a day so there's that....but don't be surprised if I come back from France morbidly obese! But it's worth it! Every single beignet. Worth it. AND THE SHOPPING!!! Good thing I have a low credit limit because I could drop
millions!! Everywhere I turn there is a cute shop or an amazing store that is begging for me to come inside! (Luckily, in all of the small towns, the stores all close early so I
can't shop). It's literally like a magnetic pull. I've been so good so far though!
I've seen some pretty wonderful things here. Like amazing! We've been to the most breathtaking chateaus and the most charming towns (see ma
galerie de photos de France page) but the best thing I have seen so far is the Eiffel tower. I can't even express how much I love it! Especially at night! It literally sparkles! It is my most favorite place on this entire planet! And don't look at the photos and say it is beautiful because no, the photos are not even half as beautiful as it is in person. It literally took my breath away. So if you ever find yourself having fallen out of my good graces, take me there and all will be forgiven. So yeah, j'adore! C'est très éblouissant!
So yeah, France is great! The countryside is gorgeous! The cities are dazzling! And I think that everyone should just live in

France always. The end. Oh, but everyone should also speak English because French is hard!! Oh well! I have succeeded in ordering food so far so that's a pretty big success for me. I feel proud....but English would be better....but anyway, stop reading, pack your bags, and see you soon!
