La neige
It snowed today all around France. This is what Paris looks like now, according to photos submitted to Le Monde:
Take a good look at the one of the Eiffel Tower. See that Christmas market below? The market in Rennes was about an eighth of that. Ridiculous. Still, Rennes, je t'aime - you are my little Paris of Bretagne.
That being said, it barely snowed in Saint-Brieuc (of course). It was more like snow-rain. Which is not snow.
Will it snow this winter in Tokyo?
I'll let you know in 24 hours. Tokyo, j'arrive!

These days.
Macarons.
Holiday sugar cubes.
Confit de canard.
Cycling along the port.
Rennes at Christmastime.
Ceux-ci sont mes jours-là. Je souhaite pas qu'ils disparaissent jamais..

Merci
Holy. It's already December.
I'm about a third of a way through this program and I couldn't be more content. I love living this life with minimal responsibility, of eating all different kinds of amazing bread and cheese, and having the ocean a short bus ride away :D These, and a lot more, were what I counted in my Thanksgiving blessings. I'm so grateful to be here and to have met all the people I have. Vive la France!
To really show my thanks, we held a Thanksgiving fête on Saturday at our house for all of our friends. My fellow American roommate Tiffany and I spent the last two days making everything from scratch.. mashed potatoes, turkey, gravy, corn, bacon green beans (mmm!), orange-cranberry sauce, the works! I only wish I had slowed down enough to take photos. I love these kind of events, but I get so stressed out that I can't think properly. Anyhoo, here is what I was able to get:
First, the invites.
Then the table..
Then, voila!
Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday as well. The Christmas countdown starts..... now!
Cheers :)
