I finally made it to the UK! After all the preparations for moving to London, I’m here at last. I’m so excited.
My week in Paris went by in a wonderful blur of crepes and croque monsieurs, Marais and Montmartre, fondue and falafel, and just about every other wonderful thing about the City of Light.
My friend and I explored areas of Paris we hadn’t previously visited, including the Montmartre vineyard, a great farmers’ market near Bastille, and a beautiful park in the 17th arrondissement.
On Saturday I went to a cooking class at the Cordon Bleu, where I learned how to make a three-course French meal (using about a hundred kilos of butter…I don’t know how they don’t all die of heart attacks!), then met my friend for tea at the Mosquee de Paris.
It was sad to say good-bye when I got on the Eurostar this afternoon, and strange to hear myself answer “two years” when the border agent asked me how long I was planning to stay in the UK.
When I arrived in London and my boyfriend met me at Waterloo Station with a bouquet of beautiful Stargazer lilies, I got excited about moving to London all over again.
It feels surreal to finally be here, and I can’t wait for the adventures to begin!
