I realized that the last weekend I’ll be in Paris this summer is the same weekend as the 24 Heures du Mans!

Full Explanation: My amazing girlfriend was recently accepted to Northwestern’s med school, and that prompted the French group that patented the research she’s been working on to ask her to be a key note speaker at a conference this June. That means she will be going to Paris for 2 weeks to conduct some of her research there and speak at the conference. She’s allowed to bring an “assistant,” which means they’re paying for me to go with her! I’ll even arrive the day before or day of our 1 year anniversary.

This morning I realized that the 24 Hours of Le Mans is the last weekend I’ll be there, when I was planning to fly home. I asked her if she’d be okay with going to watch the race with me, and she said yes! I may have played up the fact that I love her and today marks 9 months together. lol I really, really love this girl.

So now I just need to get the following Monday, and possibly Tuesday, off to allow for travel home and recovery.

Needless to say, I’m insanely excited for the whole trip!

Here’s some Le Mans, and cooresponding LeMons, action for your time.

Also, if anyone has any suggestions for planning the trip, places to watch from at the track, or other such information it’d be greatly appreciated!
