During the Summer of 2005, I decided to spend four months living and working in Europe. I was between terms at University and it seemed like a fun time for an adventure. I also wanted to put into practice all those years of French that Canadian schools make you take, so I packed up and headed off to Paris, France. I worked at a gelato store for three months and traveled for one month.
While I was working, I lived in an apartment with two Canadian girls and a Spanish girl. This weekend, one of my Canadian roommates is visiting Vancouver! Tonight, I’m hosting a BBQ and heading down to watch the fireworks with a couple of other friends I knew from Paris as well.
Have a great weekend!
