One of my favorite things about living in Paris over the past few months has honestly been how many people from home we have gotten to see. Last night our friend Marik was in town, after having spent a week in the South of France - rough life, but somebody's gotta do it. We worked together at the Commerce Department on APEC in 2010 and 2011, and had some crazy adventures in Yokohama, Japan and Big Sky, Montana - which on reflection, couldn't have been two different cities. Anyhoo, we had a lovely time catching up over a bottle of wine on the banks of the Seine at sunset.
We even managed to stay up WAY past bedtime on a school night, and headed to a local "pub" to see the first half of the US-Ghana World Cup match, which began at midnight. When the US scored a goal within the first 30 seconds of the game, all three of us cheered from the shock and excitement. This only made us stand out even more as the Americans at the bar, as absolutely nobody else was there to watch the game. Go team.
