Last Saturday in France

Since my host family was gone for the weekend, I took advantage of the free house and relaxing day in and avoided the city crazies! First stop was Velizy Mall to get some ingredients for the macarons that I've wanted to test out before I leave and I ended up splurging a bit more and finding a bridesmaid dress on super sale! Needless to say, my bank account may go into the negative figures if my PayPal transfer doesn't hit it in time!

After the mall, I hung out at home, watched Netflix while attempting (and failing) at macarons. Since it was nice out still and I was restless, I decided to take a nice long bike ride around the National Park, Parc de Saint-Cloud, and drop by the summer rock concerts going on. That bike ride made my heart so happy! The fresh air, the green trees, the blue sky, golden sunshine, gorgeous view of Paris, birds singing, smell of fragrant flowers, and the wind in my hair made me feel so free and alive; something I haven't felt in a while! I spent nearly 3 hours exploring new roads and trails and soaking in every ounce of those moments that I could. Aaaaaand I took a ridiculous amount of photos.

Once again, the emotions kicked in and I got sad! It's going to be hard to leave a place I call home. But then what good comes from standing still?
