au revoir andré.

so, this week was happy and sad...
on sunday, andre took me to this lebanese restaurant in the 15th call Al Wady. it was so good!
here is a little sampling of our mini-feast. started with olives, almonds and those pink things are pickled turnips dyed with beet sauce! we had mézzé, which had a bunch of stuff like hummus, an eggplant dip, a parsley and tomato salad, falafel and labné, which is kind of a cheese-yogurt hybrid...
we had a lentil soup, which you can tell was good, bc the bowl is empty! and also a plate of grilled meats. i was sooooo full!!!
andré and me. the restaurant man was very sweet and took not one, but three pictures of us.
so cute.
tuesday night, we had a little going-away party for andré. this is adorable madona.
action shot. a toast to andré's travels. it was such a nice night, so many people came!
the next day, i went with andré to the airport. this is quite possibly the saddest picture i have ever taken!!! i was not happy to see him go! these are the cool moving-walkway tubes that are at charles de gaulle. 
today was the last day of my french class at the sorbonne. it was a good class, but i still don't feel super-confident about speaking french, which is annoying... i must practice more!
ok, so that's about it for now...

oh! a congrats moo on your awesome thesis!!! i told you that you'd be great!!!
yessssssssss!!! :)
