So I love and hate Saturdays. I love them because I can
relax and explore Paris, but I don’t speak much French on the weekends, or at
least not as much as I do during the week. Today has been a pretty good
Saturday though. I wanted to get away from all the tourists and be around
French people for a little while, so I went a little out of the city to the
Bois de Vincennes and to the Parc Floral.
Here’s a fun fact about me – I love flowers. I used to wear
things with flowers on them all the time (not sure what happened to that), and
in art classes I would paint lilies all the time. After all my dance recitals
and shows, my parents would always bring me flowers, and I’d get to arrange
them in the vase however I wanted. I just think they can convey thoughts that
sometimes words can’t. Like red roses to say I love you or a bouquet of flowers
after a show to say congratulations, I’m so proud of you. Flowers mean
something to someone, whether it’s the giver or the receiver. So yeah, I love
flowers. So when finding out that there’s a whole park in Paris full of them, I
had to go explore. Although it’s mid-April, spring arrived pretty late in Paris
and most of the flowers hadn’t bloomed yet. Nevertheless, I brought my
wonderful DSLR camera along and took almost a hundred pictures in a couple of
hours. I hope you enjoy them!
