Parisian life

My parents were amazed by the tiny staircases in Paris, and the tall apartment buildings without elevators. "How does anyone move?" my Mom wondered.

Well, here is your answer:


You get a lift with a platform on the end and you move out of your huge window. Yes. Really.

Today while our programs were running, my undergrad and I visited a Parisian landmark.


And yes, these macarons really are as good as everyone tells you they are!


Tomorrow I head to Marseille to visit the parents of my former roommate for the weekend. I hope they like macarons!
