I See London, I See France

Okay. So. Sorry it has been forever. This post is going to take about three and a half years to write. I will try to include everything important that has happened since the last post... and try to keep pictures to a happy minimum. Chronologically: it goes:

Dinner, Melac, 6/9/09- Our professor took us out to dinner, on Yale's tab, to a restaurant called Melac in France. It was delicious- I got Veal with truffles and Potatoes... yummmmyyy

Ladurée, 6/11/09- Nina's suitemate Vicky came into Paris, and we went out to have brunch at Ladurée, under José's reccomendation. We had an extravagant meal, topped off with this creme de violette puff pastry. It was PHENOMENAL.

Boucherie Rouliere, 6/11/09- Went out to dinner... it was, once again, phenomenal. I had the most pretentious meal one could imagine, including Escargot (my first time, it was good, but, weird?), Foie Gras, and Beef Tartare.

CANNES, FRANCE!, 6/13/09-6/15/09- Took a flight to the south of France, where we lounged in the 28˚C weather... attached please find my outrageous tanlines.

Wine Tasting, 6/16/09-  Our professor hosted a wine/cheese tasting- a champagne, a white wine, four reds, and smelly smelly delicious cheese. Marvelous.

London, 6/19/09-6/22/09- Started with Pimms Lemonade at a Pub with lunch (Cambridge, by Leicester Sq., highly recommended). Then, tried to find the stupid Courtauld Gallery, which ahem, someone, told me to go see, but turns out nobody has ever heard of such a place... Ended up at National Portrait Gallery, where I rediscovered that English history is actually interesting as well. Went to the wrong theater, almost missed Wicked. Which would have sucked. I broke down in tears a few times, including "Dancing Through Life" when I realized my life dreams, and at the end of "Defying Gravity," but who can hold it together after that? The cast was INCREDIBLE. Besides for the British accents, of course. Went around and saw more things, etc. Still have tonight and tomorrow to go...

Chat soon.
