It's a Fresh Spring so Let's Sing...

Spring has arrived in Paris. I have never been someone who really lets the weather affect their mood, but now I realize that is  because I have never lived in Paris. I had forgotten how different the city is when everyone switches to bikes and drinks their expresso outside. Within a matter of 3 days, the city has transformed itself and I love it.

In other news, I have been very busy lately. I spent my "winter break" going around central Europe which was a really amazing experience. Too much to say to sum it all up, but some of the highlights were the outdoor  mineral baths in Budapest and  going ice skating in sunny Vienna.  I was initially worried about traveling with with 6 people but it ended up working out better that I could have imagined. We also managed to pick up a straggler or two in every city, so we switched up the group dynamic a bit.

The following weekend was a visit to Lyon to stay with a real french girl and to go to the Florence and the Machine Concert. Hightlights - getting on stage and dancing with Florence, and biking around beautiful calm Lyon.

Now I am back in Paris, and while I have to finally deal with all the school work that has been pilling up its not so bad because I can study outside. I have also realized how many visiters I will be getting in the next couple months and I can't wait.
