Maybe you ended up here from Holmes Sweet Home, or maybe you just stumbled upon this, but this is my blog from my summer studies in France in 2007. During my Masters program at the University of Memphis, I did a summer study to earn extra credits in order to complete my degree a semester early.

I spent 4 weeks in the town of Tours, living with a fantastic host family and studying five days a week at a language school called Institut de Touraine. With just two days left in Tours, Jacob flew to France to meet me, where he was able to meet my host family and see the school where I'd been studying.

After leaving Tours, we spent a week in Paris and had an absolutely unforgettable week in the city of love and lights.

My first introduction to Paris was in 2004, and I didn't have a great experience. In order to save money, we decided to walk instead of buying the metro passes, and at the end of the two days, I actually thought that ...(I can't belive it as I type these words) ...that...

I ...didn't like Paris.

IMAGINE!!!

It's safe to say that I was wrong... really, really wrong because this second time was amazing.

(I highly recommend using the metro instead of walking all over town, and the company of a great spouse can make all the difference!)

So, I'm in love with Paris, have always been in love with French and anything "French-ish," and this is my blog to prove it.
