Return from the North

So we went up to Paris this weekend where it was COLD. I definitely
prefer the warmer, 70 degree weather of marseille to the 50's and rain
of Paris. but, paris is a singular experience. Everytime i go there, i
see a part of it i didn'tsee before, and experience parisian life all
over again. This time, it was Montparnasse. What an interesting
neighborhood. Of the places i've been in paris (Quartier Latin,
Montmartre, Le Marais, etc) this felt the most real - like people lived
there, and not as toursity as the others. And the catacombs were
definitely cool (pictures soon). The one bummer was the food. Despite
my desire for great food, i was consistently disappointed. Honestly,
the food in Marseille seemed much better - and cheaper! Perhaps my
expectations were too high.
Another note, I spent Saturday working at the World MBA fair in Paris,
representing pepperdine. I've got to say, it was a trippy experience
being on the otherside of the table, when only two years ago, i was
visiting MBA fairs of my own, talking to reps. And now i was one of
them!??! Bizarre.
Anyhow, wednesday starts our fall break, so i'll be going somewhere,
just not sure where yet. Could be italy, could be france, could be
someone's underpants.
