On Friday night my roommates and I went to a party at the apartment of a Chilean assistant and her French boyfriend, in Rennes. There was another group of assistants from a small town in Normandie, who were here visiting for the weekend. These assistants were a mix of Irish, English, Chilean, and American. I started talking to one of the Americans and found out she graduated last year from Madison - so that was kinda exciting for me! She then said she was from a small town outside of Milwaukee ... which turns out to be Brookfield - the hometown of a bunch of my friends from Minneapolis! She of course went to Brookfield East, where they all went to high school. So to all of you Shanes, Malaneys, Thurners out there... it was such a fun coincidence to be at a party with this girl in France! I, of course, tried to convince her that she must have known some of you, haha! She recognized your names but is several years younger than all of us, so I don't think any of you know her. Random, huh!
After the party we went to a Cuban bar for lots of dancing and then ended up at our usual late night place. The rest of the weekend wasn't too exciting ... went downtown on Saturday afternoon for a bit of browsing and cafe-hopping, and just hung out at home Saturday night and most of Sunday. I'll throw in a couple of pictures from Friday night.

That is so frickin' random - most of my friends from the cities were from Brookfield too!!
Noooooooooo way...what was this girl's name? Brookfield kids really invade everywhere, don't they?
P.S. I miss you :(
I didn't ever think you would run into Tina Wanazek. I was just hanging out with her over Thanksgiving so we definitely know where all of our Brookfield brotha's and sista's are.
She is a great girl. Small world, crazy stuff.
