The whirlwind continues. After our goodbye in San
Sebastián, the adventures began in France. Sarah and I went to Marseille to
visit one of Sarah’s friends. We had a great time visiting small towns nearby.
The best was a picnic along the Mediterranean in a town called Cassis and a
mountain top view of the town.

After
two days, we had to continue our journey and moved to Paris. Since Sarah is
the Paris expert, she dragged me through the city (and I gladly followed!). We saw (basically) everything and I mean everything. We had a great first lunch in
the city to celebrate our arrival and also fit in lots of time for pastries.
One afternoon, we went to Sarah’s favorite cheese shop (yes, I have only eaten cheese since then!) and then had drinks with
her host mom. It was great getting to visit some of Sarah’s favorite hangouts.
At the suggestion of her host mom, we went to a museum that had realistic human
sculptures. It was amazing. The sculptures looked so real that if you didn’t
know, you would think that they were real.
Luxembourg Gardens
Unfortunately,
our time together went too quickly and Sarah had to return to New York leaving
me to conquer Paris alone. I am proud to say that I never got lost and only occasionally acted like a dumb American! I visited
quite a few museums including the Grand Palais where there was an exhibit
called Dynamo. It is hard to explain so here is the link to the museum! http://www.grandpalais.fr/en/event/dynamo
To
end my time in Paris, I was lucky enough to meet up with some cousins that
arrived my last evening. We had a wonderfully relaxing dinner and I got to hear
all about their travels through England. It is great when travel plans work out
like that. It was a great way to spend my last night in Paris!
To all the Healey’s reading this, enjoy race weekend! I will
be thinking about you! I am praying for sun!!
Besos,
Erin
