Paris dans le matin
reid hall is the center for parisian abroad programs for smith and about fifteen other american colleges and universities. my housemate and i have been walking to class everyday so far, and while this means i have to wake up at 7:15, i'm really starting to love it. in the human hours of the day, most of the places we walk by are packed with people from all over the world, but in the morning they're close to empty. we'll see how i feel when it's cold or rainy, but for now these are the moments when i fall in love with paris.

This looks beautiful. It is funny, when you wrote "human hours of the day," I was thinking that you meant 7 am-ish hours, because that's the only time that came close to fit for human beings all summer.... it took me a minute to realize that you meant something totally different!
ReplyDeleteit's also funny to see bright green grass that's covered with people most of the day....it's been a while since i've seen such green grass and if we had any little tiny blade-itos, i am not sure they would survive students on them. the grounds people at UT have to re-sod the big lawns after graduation.
but maybe green grass is in store for me. going to nyc on tuesday.
i hope all is well with you dear eleanor (OR, i said OR, could you hear it?)
love, zippy aka vr
