En Fin


We finally met up with Audrey again on our final days before returning to Paris and had a great time catching up and a hard time saying good-bye.
After Aud left, we spent the last two days in Marrakech taking photos and buying souvenirs. There was a rug coop in town and I couldn't tear Ad away from them, but while I was trying to get him to leave the rug store I started looking around and the roles reversed. We skipped a few last meals to spend our last dirhams on rugs and literally emptied our pockets to a cab driver who believed that we had spent all we had and took us to the airport for ten D's less than he charges other desperate tourists:)











Arriving in Paris felt like home. Everything was easy again. This day in Paris was like a dream and we both finally fell in love with Paris and all of its charms. It was the beginning of spring and we spent the day visiting the famous Pere Lachaise Cemetary and the botanical gardens. We had crepes for lunch and shared a coffee and creme brulee on the Place Monge in the early afternoon. We met up with Mathilde and her friend made us french raclette which is more like a dining experience than a meal. Her friends invited us to a party the following Saturday and it felt like we could easily build a life there. I was ready to stay forever, but Ad convinced me that Paris would still be here later. I am now working on a way to get back to France...


Ad's comment on below pic: "That would be really scary if the guy (statue) didn't have that little French mustache."
