Today, a casualty and close friend of mine was painfully lost to the streets of Paris. While on the scavenger hunt, Jenna, Elizabeth, and I stopped at a restaurant this afternoon (which sort of felt like a last meal for me but that’s not important) and I, like a fool, left my water bottle all … Continue reading

Out of all of the food I imagined myself eating in Paris, American fast food was absolutely not on the list … and yet here I am.
