I had the most lovely experience today!
I went out on my favorite river walk along the Marne to take some photographs and read my book. At one point I was taking some pictures of these beautiful swans and a lady came up to me and said "Excuse-moi." This little phrase always makes me panic for a split second because I know a rapid flow of French is about to spill out of their mouth and I will stand there trying to understand the smallest part of what they say and get nothing. But this time was completely different! The lady was speaking rapidly {by rapidly I mean normal, conversation speed} but I understood everything she said. It was seriously so cool. She told me about some birds up the path that had the coloring of ducks but were much larger {they were geese. Apparently the French have never seen them before because they were causing a bit of a commotion. People were quite fascinated.} and she wanted to let me know in case I wanted to take some photos. Isn't that nice of her?
I also had an older French man smile at me. So so rare but it definitely happened. I just love France.
Here are a few of the photos I took. I know they aren't awesome but these are the best of what I got.
There are the coolest trees around here!
