Bastille Day Celebration

Fireworks, Military Parade, more fireworks and so many people that you'd have an anxiety attack ... or at least I did.

It was fun but no 4th of July.

Pont Alexandre Bridge

Here is the most famous bridge in Paris, along with a very French car.

Aimee and I spent all day Sunday in Paris walking around. I took a few pictures and ate a lot of food. It was the perfect way to enjoy the day.

Wandering around the streets in Metz, France.
Charming city with a lot of history, having been bounced back and forth between France and Germany during the wars.

Found my Doppleganger

My friend sent me this link and asked if it was me... it's almost creepy how much this girl and I look alike!

The Cut

Before

                             

After

 

Last week I decided I was going to cut all my hair off and donate my ponytail to the Pantene Beautiful Lengths Foundation, where they make wigs for women who have suffered from cancer. I figured it was one way I could pay it forward. So Saturday I had my first salon hair cut in France. (I've been having my friend who's an au pair trim it for me since I've been here.) I knew it was going to be difficult to communicate what I wanted, so I took in pictures of Ginnifer Goodwin's cute pixie cut and am thrilled with how it turned out! Five years worth of hair gone and I feel completely liberated! Not to mention I'll be saving money on shampoo and conditioner and time.. loads and loads of time!
