L is for Lion
I planned for January to be themed Animals, Adjectives and Action Verbs. It has been the most fun so far. Here is a fierce little lion (and one of my favorites) named Anouk in the example animal mask I made.

Salmon Tartare
I have a new food obsession and it is salmon tartare.
It is all I want to eat.
This was the dish that started it all. Chloe's grandpa Padu and Anne-Marie took us out to a nice lunch in the center of Toulous after we flew in. With a bright citrus and coriander sauce, so delicious!

Leaving on a Jet Plane
Well a very little plane. Paris to Toulous for the weekend.
PS - EVERYONE EVERYONE EVERYONE! - When you have to go to either the CDG Airport or Orly Airport in Paris, definitely use the RoissyBus or OrlyBus. Trying to get to either on the RER-B is very time consuming, stressful and very uncomfortable. Taking a taxi is completely unreasonably expensive - minimum 50euro. But a either of those buses go from a major hub in the center of Paris directly to either airport. It is about 7euro for a ticket, clean and not crowded. Surely the best option I have discovered!

Saint-Germain-en-Laye
Saint-Germain-en-Laye, a cute, friendly area at the end of the RER-A, where I went to try to get my carte de sejour...

Intouchables
I have mixed feelings about being back in Paris. It feels like an enormous adjustment to go home for two lovely weeks and be with all my loved ones and then come back here and get into the French mindset. And back to work! Two different worlds. Today, both Chloe and I had the day off. We were contemplating our options for the day - museum? park? - but most of the options we had done already, so we decided to go to the movies. Since everyone is talking about what a wonderful film it is, we decided to see Intouchables - "A true story of two men who should never have met - a quadriplegic aristocrat who was injured in a paragliding accident and a young man from the projects.". My first French movie I've watched since I moved! We walked down Saint Germain to the MK2 Theater (which was nice! red velvet cushy seats!) by Odeon, and Paris just seemed so beautiful.
Excited to be at the movies.
The movie was really good, I was surprised at how much I could follow! It was one of those movies like the Kings Speech that made you want to laugh and cry. Now back to work tomorrow, agh!

The Pantheon at Night
Passed by the Pantheon last night walking home on Rue Saint Jacques. It's origin stems from when King Louis XV was ill and vowed that if he recovered, he would replace the ruins of the Sainte-Genevieve church with a edifice worthy of the patron saint of Paris, thus he ordered the construction of the new neoclassical Eglise Sainte-Genevieve, today the Pantheon.
