I first learned about the attacks in Paris while I was doing some volunteer work on Friday. I was working on a computer when the volunteer coordinator broke the news and everyone stopped what they were doing to find out more information. Every few minutes, I would refresh the website that I was on to see if … Continue reading
Since my flight out of Paris wasn’t until the late afternoon, I had a couple free hours in the morning to enjoy before I needed to head to the airport. After getting a light breakfast, I stopped by the post office across the street to send these somewhat kitsch yet cute postcards that I had gotten in Montmartre. … Continue reading
