Back on the Grid Baby!

Today I woke up and went running first thing.  I did that for about an hour the I ate and got ready to meet Hannah to go into town. I was able to show her how to use the buses so that was pretty cool. We decided to take the bus somewhere new and got completely lost. Which was totally fine because we both love walking and we both were able to see a new part of the city! But while we were lost a French guy asked us for directions and because we had no idea where we were we couldn’t give him any and he seemed a little irritated. Oh well! We ended up making it to our desired destination and stopped into a tea shop where the tea was adorable and our waiter was hilarious. He was so lively, outgoing and charming. It was a lot of fun. After that we walked around and went to the tourism office so that Hannah could get a better city map and bus map. Then we went to a café and drank some water (fancy) and later bought towels for Hannah. Really the whole day was spent walking and laughing around France! Hannah and I observed the French street fashion for me, it’s really hit or miss. I don’t know what the deal is, but the young men, and some women, really have this thing for leopard prints accents to clothing. But on a more important note, I saw my first man wearing a scarf while holding a baguette, so that can be marked off the bucket list.

Though this was all good fun, by far the highlight of my day was getting internet. I had been without it for almost 4 days and considering I am a young female, that is like totes a life time and I can’t even #horrible.  Hopefully you realize that last sentence was a joke… But yeah! It was really nice to be able to talk to my family and friends again and let them know that my fate was not that of Taken or Taken 2.

After catching up online, Hannah and I went shopping at a French equivalent to a Walmart and it was so cool! I do love France. The people, the food, the buildings, the parks, the Walmart rip offs, it’s all great!
I met up with Maybe again tonight for a little bit to give him a treat because he had finished his summer internship! Whoop Whoop! Tomorrow, him, Hannah and I are going to make dinner together so that should be fun. Also tomorrow, Hannah and I are going to go to the Porcelain exposition in town. Limoges is known for their porcelain so I cannot wait to see it all!
That’s about it for the day. I hope you all are doing well!!
