St. Valentine!

      Today is Valentines Day! While not very much is done differently to celebrate here, it was kind of fun to spend it with my girlfriends.  Before school Lea and I picked up some heart shaped macarons to give to our little friends at school for Valentines Day, little did we know that they were the absolute best macarons that we have had yet! (for those of you that do not know, macarons are not macaroons, they are little colorful cookie-sandwich things that come in a bunch of flavors like pistachio, chocolate, and raspberry, they look a lot like pretty patties when they aren’t heart shaped (spongebob? anyone?)).  After school, Emily and Sandy wanted to get Lea and me macarons as well so we got chocolate and vanilla and made a noir et blond.   


After that we went to a brasserie (soon to become our regular place) for monacos (beer and grenadine and sprite-perfect for a single girl on Valentines day I think). 


When we were walking back down Rue St. Catherine, some people were handing out roses and we each got one-which definitely made all of us feel the Bordeaux lovin'!

 This is us being super cute...
 ...and this is what we are actually like
