Samantha Takes France: FRANCE IS BOMB

If you are reading this blog, you know that I'm basically obsessed with France. It's often hard for me to articulate exactly WHY, but being here has me compiling a list of some of the reasons that France is awesome.....To be updated as I think of more things.

Vespas everywhere. Including pink vespas.

Not only is my bank account free (for the first year, convenient), because I work in the public sector they gave me a FREE DIGITAL CAMERA. THAS.WHASSUP. Yes friends, family, and lovers, get excited for more pictures because I HAVE A CAMERA!
Every single day (except Monday) there is a market in the plaza across the street from my apartment. Yes, twenty feet away. This week I got: a head of lettuce, a box of strawberries, a box of mushrooms, two onions, carrots, tons of green beans, a head of basil, and three avocados FOR LESS THAN NINE EUROS. AND I made friends with the grocer who sold them to me. YES YES YES.
My commute includes a ride on a boat. YES A BOAT.

Baguettes are 80 cents. 80 cents. 80 cents!!!! And when we buy them they are often still warm from the oven .... Mmmmmmmmmmmm.
Have I mentioned that my apartment is a seven minute walk from the beach? I get really excited to go running, and even to RUN UP HILLS (Sarah come here and run with me!!!!) because at the top there's a guaranteed beautiful view.
