Last weekend I was lucky enough to spend some time with Colleen, her boyfriend Kevin and Heather (another friend of Colleen's from New York). It was a blast and I am so happy that we were both in Paris at the same time. We happily drank a couple of bottles of wine at Rosa Bonheur while trading Paris stories and commiserating about the lack of coffee to go and good bagels. Oh New York!

The phrase book Colleen had brought with her that contained useful french phrases was a major hit too. She quickly showed me the section on sex and boy was it funny. The sequence of the phrases made no sense and was a veritable yes no yes no tease of a lesson. I wish I remembered more of what it said, but it was quite entertaining to say the least!
The four of us moved along back to Colleen and Kevin's amazing apartment rental at the edge of the Canal St Martin. There we had more wine and lots of other goodies picked up from the supermarche on our way over. It was so much fun to hang out with people and not have to explain yourself or your life story. We had a blast and may have smoked one too many cigarettes in our attempts to channel the french versions of ourselves. What a night!
Luckily for me the New Yorkers weren't leaving right away and we got to have a proper lunch the next day in a beautiful cafe down by the Seine. Steak and potatoes for your hangover? Oui s'il vous plaît!
