Courtyard Picnic

This word will be repeated so many times from now on. We had a picnic last week, or the week before I guess, with Noemie and other people that joined later in the Sciences Po courtyard. Beautiful weather and Noemie made the best food.. I had forgotten how much I liked caramelized onions and now I'm addicted to them on everything as well. She also made an apple pie, oh! Can't even remember, it's painful how much I want to have that right now. We also got some beers, cause we thought since there was a patry going on organized by the Bureau des Arts that drinks ouwld be around and sold..... nobody else was drinking but that didn't stop us. That's how we roll.





















Bridgette and I then headed to Menilmontant,where I wanted to get some of the books I mentioned in the last post (I actually wanted another one but it was too big and heavy to carry back to CR-Vancouver unfortunately). Crossed the river, saw the usual cafe terrace scenes you get with this type of weather around Saint Germain, got to Menilmontant, etc. This quartier has become my new favorite. Ever since I did my project on Parisian street art I've read a lot about it and my appreciation grew for this place. I think of it as my new Faubourg Saint Denis, although I think that will always be my favorite street in Paris because of all the good times (and really bad, akwards, creepy ones) spent there by myself and with friends.
