les parigots

last night we met up with a french friend of katie's(one of the girls on the trip.) He had an internship in gainesville but was back in paris. We went back to notre dame and walked along the siene while the sun was setting.








after walking around for a bit we went to a bar where katie's friend new the manager. the manager had lived in new york for awhile so he could speak english pretty well. he made us a really good shot with vodka and caramel which we named the the fred after him.(his name wasnt really fred but that's what he had american's call him)



There was also a girl there who was an NYU student studying linguistics in paris. She was really friendly and made some food recommendations for us. We got a cheese and meat plate, an avocado dish, and a pastry that had baked goat cheese. it was all delicious.







everyone at the bar was so friendly. it had a laid back atmopshere, a kind of "real paris" feel that you hope to experience as a toursist. we tried a few european beers, and just over all had an amazing night.









the NYU student, erika, is my new personal hero. she had a carefree and adventurous spirit that i really admire. i want to be her! fluent in another language, and living abroad, i want that to be me someday!

overall, it was a great night. i hope i didn't disappoint anyone after i hyped it up last night (sorry mom, dad, ria, and lanie- nole french boy!), but it was definitely the best night i've had in paris so far.
