I'm a do the things that I want to do

Carmen and I decided to go out Saturday soir because dude, we just wanted to dance. The first club we went to, the only person dancing was the dj. The next place was a 20euro cover charge, and each of us only brought 10 so that was out. We walked down the street to an Irish pub, so I got to be with my people. A place where it is acceptable to be pale, gosh darn it!!! (Back story: Madame went crazy the other day because I didn't have make up on and looked pale in comparison to Carmen. Monsieur said "Carmen est italienne, Rebecca est anglaise" Yeah, that plus Irish equals a really pale girl. Awesome.)

Oh my pretty housemate!

Ummm... apparently the epitomy of our night.

Two wines and a tasty apple frost beer later, I was talking to a "cop" from I don't remember where and these two were hitting on poor Carmen who had the good sense to get us out of there.

Oh, look, my happy face!!!

Elf? Anyone?

Carmen and I refer to Friends on a daily basis. Does anyone recall the episode with Unagi, where Ross jumps out at Rachel and Phoebe screaming DANGER!!!!!!!! Funniest thing ever.

Flashback

As I sit in my room, I can hear the metro leaving for it's next destination. I see the Eiffel Tower sparkling away. Will this eventually become routine for me? Will my breath still catch at the size and splendor of the Tour when I walk by it? Mon Dieu, I hope so. I believe that the magic of this city will hold for me. ANYWAY. Before I start posting pictures of the Tour au nuit, or mon appartement I have to finish up with Cannes. The picture of "en greve" is the French doing what they do best: going on strike. As long as the metro doesn't go on strike while I'm here, carry on!


Thursday night before we left Carmen, Hayden and I got spiffed up and went into town for some fine dessert and wine. Since it was evening and France has this thing about not working late and closing early, we brought everything back to the dorm and classily drank and dined in Carma's room. It was fun to walk around in my dress though!














Wine and chocolate, mes amis. Wine and chocolate. What a wonderful night.

















After two baby bottles of wine I proceeded to spend a good portion of the night in the crack of Carmen's bed (hey, it was comfortable). I was sad because I was holding some crumbs that I had flung onto Carma's computer.






So yes, that concludes pictures from Cannes. However, I have to go study for my placement exam tomorrow (ughhh). Donc! I will update when possible. Bisous!! **
