Bonjour mes amis!
Comment allez-vous?
Yes, I’ve
switched it up to French for a second. I’ve been called a “band
wagoner” a time or two and I know I’m
in Spain … but hence the name –
“Voyage
avec Antoinette.” <- Clearly, it’s
French. J Why am I in Spain?
Honestly, I believe Español plays an important role in today’s
medical field and it would complement my studies. BUT it doesn’t
take away from the fact I’m fixated with the French culture,
language and now the country.
I’ve
studied French two years in high school and continued it at my university. My
obsession started when I was in elementary school. My older brother came home
from a trip to Quebec, Canada with his French class and learning it has been a
dream since. I guess I can thank my older bubby, Darrell. {Giggles}
My first Parisian
experience was awesome! Paris was my number one place to visit and I can gladly
say that I loved it! I honestly kept saying to myself, “I’m
in Paris! Won’t HE do it!?”
–
Oh, along with my happy dance that I’ve created. It’s
quite cute, actually. I
was so happy, I filled my iPhone with tons of “selfies” to show my emotions.
It was EXTREMELY cold
over the weekend in Paris and I was a bit unprepared. But it doesn’t
mean that I didn’t have a good time. It seems that this
is the holiday season as the French were preparing their selves for Christmas.
I got to witness Paris at it’s best with the famous
Christmas Market. It was spectacular! The larges market in Paris running from Champs-Elysée roundabout all the way to the Place de la
Concorde.
It was beginning to
look a lot like Christmas. J
You wanted it; they had it – from hot porridge to
hot red wine. French onion soup and THE BEST sausage dog in the world!
Honestly, everything
was so beautiful. I am still in awe of what the city puts together.
There were
a variety of nick-nacks to purchase for your family, friends and loved ones. I
will post more pictures on my Facebook Page for you all to see.
If you ever want a nice
holiday away for Christmas, “the city of love”
is definitely the place to be. In the meantime stay tuned for my Eiffel Tower
fixation, my visit to the original Mona Lisa at The Louvre AND the castle of
Marie Antoinette in Versailles.
Keep dreaming, stay
inspired, and be blessed.
