Paris In The Summertime

Here I am - back from Eurotrip 2012! I mean, I leave Colorado alone for a few weeks and the whole place is on fire!

I could go on and on about how blessed I am to have amazing friends and incredible stories - and I will.  But, my real takeaway from this trip is simple: my life is super fun.  Seriously!  And stay tuned as I roll out all the fun and frolicking of Eurotrip 2012. 

First up: Paris!  Now you might think that Paris in the summertime would be sunny and warm everyday.  Lies.  I am pretty determined that France is cold and rainy year round.  The theme of Emily-Didn't-Bring-Enough-Warm-Clothes really resounded repeatedly throughout the trip. 

In addition to Katie, Jeff and my mother, I got to spend the weekend with my dear friend Jo.  She flew over from England just to appreciate my neon Nike running shoes.  She wasn't disappointed. 

Our time together was perfect.  A beautiful city, a beautiful friendship.  And maybe one too many bottles of wine.  Whoops!

You know it is true friendship when you're still obsessed with each other after 11 years.  

While in Paris we watched the French Open with the locals (on an orange carpet).  And like all tourists, we visited a taxidermy shop owned by an acquaintance of my sister.  

Five days in Paris is never enough (although my wallet might disagree).

  Until next time, old friend...
