Oct - Dec

Salut à tous et toutes!
So, first off, I know that I have been snail-paced in getting this blog up, but my life these past few months has been extremely occupied with school, friends, traveling, and overall adventure... that's my excuse. It would appear that my last blog was in October... so much has happened since then...
I'll start from my trip to Poland back in October. The trip set off to a bit of a rough start - the car of the girl that was to drive us to Beauvais airport was towed and so we had to frantically run to the police headquarters to get it out of their posession - the station being all the way across town from where we were. Once we had her car back we had just over one hour to get to the airport - which is one hour away from central Paris. Thanks to a delay in our flight, we made it with but minutes to spare. We stayed in a beautiful five-star hotel in Warsaw city center, and it was the nicest hotel I have ever slept in. We drove to the Auschwitz camp the day following our arrival in Warsaw, and words can not describe the feelings and thoughts that arose from the visit. We went out dancing one night in a Polish discothèque that played old music (technically not that old - from the 80s/90s); the music that I grew up with, so that was fun. We walked around the old city center, which consisted of beautiful and uniquely painted buildings, and our last day we visited a charming little park. Being autumn, the park was full of warm colors, and was breathtaking to walk through. It was an impressionable and unforgettable trip.
In more recent news - I have moved out of the family's home for whom I was fille au pair, and now live in a comfortable little appartment just next to l'Arc de Triomphe. I live with a French guy named Cristophe, and he's great. We have a little kitchen (with a real oven!) so we have been cooking a lot together which has been a lot of fun. We even have a real fireplace - which is somewhat rare for Paris. It has been so nice living in Paris centre. Everything is so close, and I no longer have to take 1 hour + of transit to come here. I visited les Catacombes last weekend by myself, and that was quite interesting.
As for upcoming events - I am going to Romania this weeekend with my (boy)friend Alex - so that should be a lot of fun. Next weekend I will be going to Tangier alone, which will be a change of scenery as well.
All in all, life is fabulous, and there is not one single thing I would change.
I hope you all had a warm Thanksgiving.
