I feel like I’m in a renoir painting. I am enjoying a sandwich under a
tree on the banks of a nice pond full of swans. It’s so nice here. I
needed a day away from the city after yesterday’s long walk through the
center. I wish I could rent a row boat but I still have blisters on my
hands from my allergic reaction. Was that a week ago? I am missing tom
and am getting excited about coming home next week. I will be home in 7
days!
I had an embarrassing encounter with an english clerk at a metro
station. He laughed uncontrollably at my attempts at pronouncing things.
I guess it had to happen atleast once. Glad he was english and not
french. It would have tainted my fresh new appreciation of the french.
Everyone has been really nice to me.
