Went to the park with Mehdi and ate cheese and crackers and talked about life. Then went to meet Benedicte, Julie and Vincent near the cine for dinner. We ate along the water and talked about culture its differences the stereotypes what we thought. I drove back with Julie to her place and she showed me a local photographers book of the area. I love spending time with her she is so beautiful and full of life. Her smile and laugh and her childlike playfulness are so endearing and yet she is so strong and independent and dedicated. She gave up smoking two weeks ago and is doing yoga and trying to meditate. It was nice talking to her about it last time and really connecting. I feel like if i were in Paris we'd be really close friends. In a way it makes it hard to not have that because she is so great. I really admire her courage and the way she opened her heart to me about a man named mouhammed that she dated 3 years back who broke her heart. We talked about heart matters and what it takes to get over someone. How disappointing it can be when something feels right but doesn't work. That has been a very present theme for me and people i know lately. I really wanted to do a Rosen method session with her but there wasn't time. Today I woke up and had breakfast with Julie and went to Fouads to pack and clean up. I went to meet Fouad at work and got lost yet again. Silly euro streets winding about. Its never straight forward. He met up with me and we had lunch and took dessert and coffee nearby. It was hard talking wig him because I was tired and coming to the realization this was my last day in Paris for awhile as I didn't know when id be back. I went down to st Michel to check out the Shakespeare and co bookstore which is famous. I got lost but walked through st Germain the art district near the Latin quarter and went into some galleries. One of which was just remarkable photography work I was super impressed. Then I got thirsty so I went down the main street St Michel and as I was walking I saw RuPaul. I smiled so big and my eyes lit up. We made eye contact and he smiled big back at me with a kind of knowing recognition. It wad amazing. Last time I met him was about a year ago on sf. It was my first time meeting him and I was so good ecstatic. I waited in line and was the second to last person. He was so humble and amazing we talked about therapy and o told him he should be a therapists that I watch the show and hes so profound. He said when he gives advice its like he's telling himself something and that when he saw helps people its really like hes helping himself. I had a moment where I wanted to stalk him or see what store he was going to ask if he wanted to hang out but I refrained. I figure he probably just wanted to do his thing. I found Shakespeare and co after that and looked around. Then went to find a spiritual bookstore and grabbed a Pema Chodron book in french for Julie which I will mail to her. Then I headed back to Fouads to get my bag and go to Gavins. On my way I stopped at McDonalds to take a picture of the menu as requested by my friend. And then I went Ti g20 a grocery store where I met a guy the first day who was kind and talked about showing me around. He introduced me to his coworkers Aladdin and someone else. And was disappointed we didn't hang out. ;P
