Salut!!!!
Today is Monday AND I GET TO COME HOME IN FOUR DAYS!!! (counting today). I have been having a blast in Paris, but I am ready to get home and pack up for Murray! And then head to Colton's, HOORAY!!! These past couple days are going to be bittersweet: I'm ready to get back to the states, but it's sad because who knows when I will be able to come back?!
I'm having an awesome time with my mom and sis here, thus far. Saturday we just hung out and then Alyssa fell asleep until Sunday morning, haha. So mom attended my Harry Potter party that Leslie and I threw in our room in honor of Harry's birthday! It was super fun! We played trivia and the who am I? game with Harry Potter characters! We had chocolate frogs and chocolate wands! After that, I went to bed.
Sunday, we got up early becuase the first Sunday of every month, the museums are free! We went to Musee D'Orsay to see Monet's painting (which Mom loves), and the other impressionist works there. Afterward we went to the Louvre! Alyssa and I took Mom to see the Monna Lisa and then we went to the Egyptian antiquities section. It was super jam packed with people though, so we left after that. We then went on a search for a fan because Mom is the opposite of a reptile and requires cool temperatures to live, haha. We didn't find one though, so we went back home. For dinner, we went to a panini stand and grabbed some sandwiches, then headed to the Luxembourg gardens across the street for a picnic! We layed sat on a blanket and had dinner, and it was fun!
Today (Monday), we were going to get up early and I was going to take Mom and Alyssa to the Champs Elysees and to the Arc de Triomphe, but they aren't morning people, haha. I am going to lunch with Karen (my teacher) and the 2 other girls in my lit class for lunch. Mom, Alyssa and I will go to the Champs and the Arc after that. Tonight, I am going to a dinner at this place called Chez Gladines (which I went to a while ago and didn't really care for) with everyone who is still here on the program for our last dinner together! It will be sad! I think that I am going to eat before I go and then just order dessert, haha. You can't go wrong with dessert!!
After dinner, Mom, Alyssa and I are going to go on a boat tour of Paris. Alyssa and I went on one the last time we were here (I thought it was super lame, haha and Alyssa remembers it as fantastic...but I remember her sleeping...haha) and we are going to take Mom. We think she'll like cruising down the Seine at dusk when all of the buildings start to light up! After, or before the boat tour (we're not sure which we'll do first), we are going to go to the Eiffel Tower to watch it sparkle on the hour! I'm not sure if they'll want to go up to the top or not. I guess I'll let you know what happens next time I update!
I would now like to give my Dad a shoutout because I haven't had enough internet connection to call him with skype. Hi Dad!! I still need to know what you'd like for your birthday!! Haha.
Well, I guess that's all for now. I'm going to go try to get the family up and moving!
Bonjournee!
