Favorite little things in France right now (5 months in)

Frozen pain au chocolat 

(they are the best warm from the toaster oven)

Christmas markets (I loved them)

Ancient buildings in Paris, every detail was thought 

through and it really is just breathtaking

Parc de Sceaux: We’ve actually only been once but 

it is an enormous public park nearby that is stunning

Just walking the streets of Paris

The pride the French take in the little things, the cheese 
you want to select, or the flowers you are looking at. 
They want to tell you all about it, and hopefully soon 
I will understand more of what they’re trying to tell me!

Every day that there is a clear blue sky or a little sun is a gift

The Eurasian Magpie birds we see everyday

Associatons: I love that everyone is in some sort 

of club, people seem eager to learn new skills or 

improve existing ones. 

Singing at church. I thought it would be a long time 
before we could engage in worship, but we are understanding 
and genuinely worshipping through most of the music 
which encourages us every week.
