I’ve Left My Heart in Paris

I think it’s safe to say that I’m in love with Paris. I don’t know how our long distance relationship is going to work or when we are going to see each other again, but I think it’s going to work out.

This is what I love and will miss about Paris

• the wide Haussmannian boulevards with terminating vistas
• catching glimpses of the Eiffel Tower and the Sacre-Cœur
• all of the beautiful parks
• the public transportation, but espicallly the RER B, which I spent so much time on
• the food (if anyone tries to tell you that being a vegetarian in Paris is hard, they are lying to you)
• the Seine
• riding the 6 and going through Vavin (which is pronounced like ‘va-va’)
• the breathtaking art museums
• listening to the French speak English, which they are terrible at
• picnicking in one of the beautiful parks
• did I mention the food?
• being able to navigate the maze that is Les Halles
• walking everywhere and feeling safe while doing so
• the uniform sandstone buildings
• getting lost and stumbling across something beautiful
• or getting lost and then discovering that you know exactly where you are

I think what really made Paris special and what I miss the most were all of my amazing classmates, my professor, and all the friends that I made. If it were not for them, I don’t think that I would have had such a phenomenal time.
