-Ate a cheeseburger
-Strolled a bit in the Bois de Boulogne with A
-Met up with M at Starbucks (I know, I know... but I got to see M!)
-Went to two museums (Centre Pompidou and Musée des Arts Décoratifs) and, most importantly, saw the Hussein Chalayan exhibit (credit for the Chalayan exhibit photos below goes to A)
-Witnessed the new (old) Libyan flag hanging at the embassy in Paris
-Saw a play at the Comédie Française (La Pluie d'été)
-Spent the weekend with A, whose Arabic language skills impressed more than a few North African vendors at the street market at Porte de Clignancourt
-Got my hands hennaed (also by A)
-Joined the Cowchsurfing group in Normandy for some embuscade and some talk in English (thanks to J, who invited me)
-Came up with a damn good comeback in French to counter a teenager's joke about my skirt, which, admittedly, did look a bit monastic.
-Hung out by the Seine on a starry night, talking about life, love, and revolution
-Did some serious research at the IMEC yet again, as the wind howled like ambulances outside, against the walls of the Abbey.
