well, i haven't sent out an update in awhile, and i thought i'd let everyone know what was up... well, the cooking lessons went well... we learned how to make mousse chocolat, a tarte salée, caviar d'aubergines, and legumes farcies (froid)... versailles was good, but way too crowded & hot... i actually prefer the first time i went even though it was frigid... got to see the fountains which were cool, and got the chance to ride bikes & have a picnic, which was also really cool... i loved a donkey at marie antoinette's hameau, and saw a louis the XIV sporting tennis shoes. good times.

i went to a dinner party, and made a lot of (hopefully) great connections... with luck, i'll be back here next year! we'll see!

this week was crazy busy... fete de la musique was wednesday... lots of dancing, music (obviously), & wine =ed lots of crazy times... and virtually no sleep for 48 hours. oh well, maybe i had a little too much fun!

we had dinner at isabelle's on friday night... popiettes de veau, and we had another cooking lesson... this time we learned how to make terrine de courgettes, pate basilic, tarte aux fraises, and crème brulée... it was a lot of fun! i'm going to miss these parties!

yesterday, i went to the paris pride parade, and it was amazing... 800,000 people, colors, costumes, makeup, lots of shirtless, dancing, beautiful boys, floats, flags, glitter, techno music, feathers, you-name-it! it was a liberating experience... i just wish all of my friends from home could've been here to experience it with me (you were all there in my heart)! diana went for a little bit, but she had a rendez-vous, so she had to leave early... i walked the whole way along with the parade, from montparnasse to bastille... it was absolutely amazing!

anyway, that's what i've been up to lately... it's raining right now, so maybe i'll check out the new museum in town... we'll see! the cinema festival starts today... oh my gosh, i don't know if i can make it!
