It's a Process

So I have a confession. The title of my blog is actually grammatically incorrect for what my original intent requires. In French, adjectives must make agreement in number and gender to the noun or pronoun which they modify. In this case, the adjective "reveur" should apply to me, but I am a woman... So I need to recall my title, which should be "reveuse."

But actually, I'm okay with this mistake. In this sense, I am bringing myself closer to what I really want out of this experience and out of this blog, which is to make some progress in understanding myself and my relationship with the world. The dreamer of my title refers in this sense to all of us who come to Paris with the image of the myth, the romance and the history of this city. I can honestly say that living here puts not only a new spin on the myth but on my own naivete in coming here.

Anyway, I just want to acknowledge that I am learning throughout this process of studying and living abroad. I haven't quite wrapped my mind around the fact that Paris is as real as Atlanta or Richmond, but I'm working on it. I haven't gone completely crazy yet! Just to show you that I am really having fun here, I'd like to share a few more images from my travels. (Notre Dame de Chartres, le Palais des Papes in Avignon, the Roman amphitheater in Arles, the Rothschild Villa and Gardes, the beach in Nice, and the Chapelle de Matisse).
