That quote pretty much explains today.“Why count the days, when one is enough for a man to know all of
happiness?
-Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brother’s Karamazov
-I only had 4 hours of school
-I ate an amazing 60 Euro lunch at Rotary (don’t worry, it was on Rotary)
-Rotary gave me 80 Euros
-I FINALLY got everything worked out for my Visa, hooray! (my medical visit is Nov 9th)
-I now have no need to worry about my Visa situation
-It was unexpectedly sunny and nice
-It was very sunny and nice
-I went on a walk in this beautiful park, Parc Montsouris (guided by my friend Rene’s amazing present of 50 City Walks: Paris, which is my new favorite pastime)
-I got to take pictures that I now share with you (although I did edit them a tad)
-I fell asleep in the grass, in the sunlight
-I read, in the grass, in the sunlight
-I had a legitimate conversation with my host parents at dinner, that did not simply consist of me preemptively nodding my head to what they were saying, and then getting caught having no idea what they said
-I don’t have school till 9 tomorrow
-Oh ya, and I live in Paris
Brent!

Awesome about the visa, the lunch and the day. I had the pleasure of spending 11 hours trying to get from Philly to California yesterday only to find out the meeting was on Thursday not Wednesday - so I was a full day early. You win on the great day department. :-)
Love ya.
Very nice pictures, lil' brudder. I'm glad you're having so much fun! Soak every minute in like your a big bearded minute sponge, cuz it'll be over before you know it.
Your photos are absolutely beautiful. The leaves here aren't turning red, just kinda crunchy brown on the ground. And Wednesday it rained...go figure Paris would get all the good weather.
