It all began, innocently enough, with a desire to go see pens. Min, Chris, and I had our already-traditional breakfast croissant and café crème (I believe still acquiring both at a café — a practice we abandoned very quickly since a wider variety of pastries were available and much more cheaply at a selection of patisseries leaving us to only pay for the privilege of sipping our coffees in a leisurely fashion while sitting at one of the thousands of possible cafés we had to choose from).

( I swear to you, I'm getting to the pens... )

Just an observation about my picture-taking abilities. I took 215 pictures while in France and *all* of them tilt slightly to the left. Is it me or the camera?
*le sigh*
I'm tired, but I'm trying to stay up to get avoid jet lag tomorrow.
Paris was GREAT! (Cold, but great!)
Hanging out with Min and Chris while running around Paris was even GREATer ;)
More later when I've settled back in.
MADE of awesome...

Paris in the springtime. At last, at last.
Which is *always* good for finding something to make your visit there worthwhile. Today, it was this: GoogleMaps' directions from Chicago to London (Read through the directions until just after you reach the New York coastline...)
- Location:Chicago ;)

amused - Music:"Veins" by Charlotte Martin
