"There is never any ending to Paris and the memory of each person who has lived in it differs from that of any other. We always returned to it no matter who we were nor how it was changed nor with what difficulties nor with what ease it could be reached. It was worth it and we received a return for whatever we brought to it." Hemingway

Marché de Noël
Sunday night after I returned from the Marché de Noël à Esbly, I mentally prepped for class the next day (homework was already finished) and went to bed. I dont recall the number of times exactly but every 1.5-2hrs that night, my poisoned stomach forced me from my cozy bed to kneel on cold tiles before the all consuming toilette bowl. Though fatigued and aching, I remember being curiously surprised that my body temperature could change so quickly, almost instantaneously, from teeth-chattering cold to sweat-broiling hot.
The human body is quite fascinating, even to the sick mind.

After a couple of days in bed and with Elisabet Maunoury's kind, experienced hand, I have recovered my health and nearly my strength.
