explore the city i live in

I only have a little while longer to explore Oakland, because dude and I will be moving to San Francisco sometime soon (I’d guess August). I love the East Bay, but I’m really excited for a change. AND it’s starting a whole new life with someone whom I love very much – how wonderful!

So anyways, this goal will remain on here, and I will continue to explore Oakland until I leave it. Then I’ll get to move on to exploring San Francisco. I’ve lived in the city before, but not for quite some time. Much has changed, and I was young and missed out on many things I would now appreciate. I can’t wait!

Spent an hour today in the Parc Monceau (17th Arrondissement). This is such a nice place :)

And I went back to Parc de Bercy on Saturday morning with a friend.

Went to Parc de Bercy this afternoon and I loved it. Looking forward to going there again.

I am now looking for apartment to buy in Paris.
I guess I’ll have to go around the city a lot ;)

Went to the Opera last night at the Harris Theater with my sister. It’s in beautiful Millenium Park….too bad it was chilly last night, would’ve been nice to head downtown early and walk around the park.

My mom and I had lunch at the restaurant near from my apartment.
We ate on the terrace; he was a beautiful day :)

Went to a birthday party at the Real Tenochtitlan resataurant in Logan Square on saturday night. Yuuummmmie food, amazing guacamole, very pretty decor. Had a great time….food, drinks, laughter, friends. :)

My boyfriend’s friend’s girlfriend had a little birthday gathering at Kingston Mines blues club. Had a really fun time….great music, great atmosphere.

Living in Paris, I have plenty to do.
I recently spend some time in the “Jardin des Plantes”, went to Montmartre for the first time.

This spring/summer:
- Spend an afternoon in the “Jardin du Luxembourg” (I haven’t done that in ages).
- Spend an afternoon at Paris Plage (though I already did it last year)
- Spend an afternoon in the “Parc de Bercy”
- To be continued

The boyfriend & I went to Singha in River North for our 2 year anniversary dinner Saturday. The food was good (i’ve honestly had better) but what i totally loved was the seating! :) They were kinda like benches…but actually little 70’s-ish pits that you stepped down into to sit on a cute little embroidered pad. Very nice.
