Bon Voyage!!!!

As I begin to write this I still can’t believe it’s actually here! For the past few months my boyfriend and I have been anxiously awaiting our end of summer trip to France with a few of our friends. And now it’s finally here! This morning I may have woken up in Brooklyn, but tomorrow I wake up in Paris!

And not surprisingly, I’ve crafted a pretty impressive regional “must eat” list for myself as I saved up $$ not for shopping, but for eating
