This is a series of pictures from yesterday, my first official day of Chirstmas break and my first day being home alone. I almost decided to go to southern Italy with Casey and Jessica but I decided to have some Jodi time and save money instead. Plus, there are a lot of things that I want to do in Paris by myself. So here is what I did yesterday in chronological order, starting with shopping outside of Les Halles after I dropped Becky and her two ton suitcase off at the metro to go to the airport. There is a special Christmas market set up outside in the streets. People from all origins are here selling their stuff. I got some really cool gloves with no fingertips and detachable mitten-things. They are my new prized possession.
Next I walked towards the river and saw this old man painting on the side of a cafe and I decided to take a picture. Then I went to Notre Dame to take some pictures because the weather was so nice…you could even see a glimpse of the sun. After that I derived in the direction of my house, walked down Rue Cardinal Lemoine, the street Hemingway used to live on, and made my way to the Pantheon where they had these pitiful Christmas trees set up for decoration. There is also a good view of the Eiffel Tower in the distance from there.
Then I made my way back down Rue Mouffetard, the market street close to my apartment and did some wine tasting and shopping. The very last picture reminds me of my friend Catie because she loves this little white man that is painted all over Paris doing different activities. Becky has pictures of Catie chasing after pigeons, which really made the finding perfect.
So day two of JODI’S HOME ALONE PARTY is not quite as interesting. I will be cleaning up and working on projects that I have been wanting to do for awhile. It is one of those stay-in-your-pajamas-all-day days (I have been having quite a lot of those lately, but I leave the house anyway). Have a great lazy Sunday everyone.
