let's see... where did i leave off? the juice box wine was for a birthday festivity on tuesday... just to explain that.
i went to the ballet on wednesday... "la fille mal gardée." i enjoyed it because i enjoy ballet in all ways possible. though i do believe the best ballet you can get is in america. the national opera house kind of stole the show. it's probably the most beautiful building i have ever been inside. every thing was gold and marble and red velvet.
i had visitors on thursday night! some friends from wimberley were passing through paris and we hung out for a bit. we went to this AWESOME jazz club in the latin quarter called "caveau des oubliettes" aaaaaaand it was probably the coolest place i've been to. you walk in and its this tiny room with a staircase. so then you descend this staircase into (literally) a dungeon of jazz. it's small but there's room. free admission but you have to buy a drink.. no complaints there. will definitely be going back.
friday we hung out in the marais again. it's always exciting. went into a neat cafe called cafe richards... mismatched leather chairs and wooden tables with posters--vintage and new--covering the walls. love.
TODAY we went to a flea market in theee... 9th? 10th? i don't know.. no man's land really. but it blew my mind. like... this was the real deal kind of flea market. vintage chanel jackets and such, old photographs, and tea sets galore. legit. couldn't buy anything because i was so overwhelmed because everything was so incredible. will be going back there again as well.
so basically i'm still doing cool things in paris. what do you know?
i'm crazy jealous first of all. i miss you like crazy second of all. i'm so glad your having such a good time. :)
ReplyDeletewow i don't think your trip could be any more amazing if you even you ended up shacking up with James Franco or Nicolas Sarkozy (ew)
ReplyDeleteLe Marais is such a cool place- so much like the village, and i am veryyy jealous that you are playing there!
make sure to come home with some AUTHENTIC Longchampe or Chanel or Louis Vuitton or whoever is French and Fabulous!!
Yeh, everything sounds amazing. I did enjoy the wine juicebox, though I forgot to respond.
ReplyDeleteI studied the Paris opera house! Charles Garnier constructed it. It's beautiful right?! You got to see it and experience it though, so you probably have more of an opinion.
And how are the classes? Your social life seems increible! (I know that's Spanish, but maybe it's similar in French?)
