Time's too fast

I've been in France for 3 weeks now but it feels like I just arrived yesterday and the last three weeks never even happened. It went by so fast that everything seems just like a blur...arriving at the airport, going to Britanny then to the Pyrenées...And now I only have one more weekend to spend here.

Time sucks.

Work sucks.

Not to mention it's raining in Paris now.

That's all I can say for now. Just a quick post to tell anyone who cares that I'm still alive.

I'll try to write about Britanny and the Pyrenées tomorrow.

Mai, I still owe you that article.

peace and luv,
xc

Hello again

I've forgotten how much walking is done in Paris...and since no one really "walks" in Makati it's not a surprise that I was hecka tired after just 3 hours outside.

I'm staying on the 4th floor of an old building, hence no elevators. Yesterday I had to go up and down the freakin stairs at least 8 times. Went to the supermarket twice, the restaurant just across the street twice, the embassy to see friends (more stairs!) not to mention the train transfers I had to take.

I haven't been to the tourist spots yet. I don't even think I'll be going to the tourist spots except maybe for Paris Plage (the makeshift beach along the Seine) and check out if Quai Branley's already open. But I have seen interesting things at the spermarket and the boulangerie around the corner. I love love love the tomatoes and veggies here. Not to mention the pastries everywhere!!!
