This is the life that awaits me...

Me: it's almost 5h00, why are you still awake?
Felicia: haha
just biked from the western banlieues all the way home to eastern Paris, in give or take an hour and twenty minutes.
Me: wtf? what happened?!
Felicia: turns out communal transport really sucks at nighttime in the banlieues, who woulda thought?
but it was fun! kind of.
Me: haha
Felicia: i didn't want to wait two hours for the metro, and there were no taxis.
Me: why in the hell were you in the banlieues? no one should have to go there!
Felicia: ah, igor lives in saint-cloud, he had a housewarming party
Me: poor guy
Felicia: it's not really BANLIEUE, but still
it's faaar away
Me: that's probably 12km, at least
Felicia: at least.. it took forever just to get to the seine.
Me: did you velib the whole way?
Felicia: yup
Me: alone?!
Felicia: no, no. with cara and two other girls until our paths diverged.
Me: omg
Felicia: the idea was just to velib to where we could find a taxi, but we kind of just kept going..
Me: hopefully cara didn't drunkenly fall this time and scratch up and bruise her entire body
Felicia: haha, yes. she sort of just disappeared out of our horizon at some point by the eiffel tower. i think she's fine.
Me: man, that sounds so romantic
