My paris retrospective: One crazy night in Munich

I started out writing this post with the intention of recounting my weekend trip to Munich while I was in Paris.  Then, a friend of mine posted this photo of the pathway to success on facebook. 

Oddly enough, I thought it was a map of my mental process.  I'll take you on a journey to illustrate why I say this:

• I was thinking this morning that my wardrobe seriously needs an update.
• Then I thought, wow, I really didn't buy any clothes in Paris.
• But then I remembered that I was trying to stay within budget and not end up begging on the street in Paris.
• And that led me to think about another Facebook post in which one of my friends from Paris considered creating a prostitution cooperative in Paris in order to finance the things she wants.
• But I think that maybe I made a mistake in not enjoying the food more in Paris, 'cause isn't that what it's renowned for? However, it's not like I didn't enjoy some wonderful meals - just not everyday.  Which leads me to note that I lost 12 lbs while in Paris.
• I go back to my original thought which is that I didn't buy any clothes in Paris, and realize that it's for the following reasons: 1. Clothes are crazy expensive, as are most things when the Euro is kicking ass like it was when I was there. 2. I really was trying to be mindful of what I had to take back.  On the way back, I ended up giving away a blazer and a pair of jeans in order to smuggle my wine and cheese back. 3. I lost some money, at first I thought it was on the train ride back to Paris from Munich, but then I realized that it was while I was dancing my heart out at M Bar in Munich.
• This lead me to think about my trip to Munich.  Which was what this post was supposed to be about before I got sidetracked looking at the facebook post on the journey to success.

See what I'm sayin'...
