i'm thinking of starting another blog, because i've loved sharing my travel experiences here in Europe so much...but will there be enough to write about in Connecticut?
 |
| so much love |
anyways, thank you to everyone who has read this the past year! i cannot, seriously cannot, believe that it's over. the whole year went by faster than i could have imagined!

i started typing this up back in march, so let's get sentimental:
-
Stuff I can bring back with me to USA: un carafe d’eau, wine jug/pichet/carafe
on table, tables set nicely, cheese course at end of meal,
apertif (vermouth,
champagne,
fino, sherry and any still, dry, light white wine), amuse-bouche
(crackers,
cheese, pâté or olives), digestif/café, the word “truc”, saying bon
appétit before eating a meal, never leaving the house in sweats or dressed sloppily unless i'm going to the gym, walking a lot, shopping every couple days & not doing one huge trip, eating fresh produce, frequenting the farmers market...

Things I wish I could take back to the USA: chèvre,
macarons, quality red wine for only a few euros, regional foods & wines,
daily fresh food market only a 5 minute walk away, sunny winters, daily
exposure to the French language, the French train system (even with it’s
occasional irregularities), 2 hour lunches, faire la bise (the cheek-kissing
greeting), old French men playing pétanque in les jardins, all my friends, & the constant challenge of listening to and speaking French...

| french & food |
-Things I won’t miss about France: the dog poop
on the streets, massive amounts of smokers, having to figure out whether to use
“tu” or “vous” with a person, lack of cozy café/bookshops where it’s not crazy
to take out a laptop & get some work done aaand that's about it!
 |
| garden picnics & friends |
lots of love & bises :)
