It has been a very long time since I have updated. I was in Paris from last Thursday until Tuesday night. I met my mom and sister at the airport on Thursday and then we had to pick George up on Friday. We stayed at a very cute and cozy hotel in the "Middle-Eastern" district. There were Middle-Eastern people everywhere and I saw about 3 women the whole weekend. Ok, yes I am exaggerating but there weren't very many women around.
In Paris, we visited all of the touristic places, of course. We went to: Notre-Dame, Le Louvre, Sacré Cœur, Eiffel Tower, Moulin Rouge, Arc de Triomphe... and I feel like I am forgetting something. We also went to Delphine's house for dinner. Delphine and her dad met us at the Opera in Paris and then gave us a tour of "Paris by night". It was super pretty, I loved it. At their house we had delicious food and great conversations. lol We were there until 2am!! It was a lot of fun..they are really great people.
We met up with Mamie and Sierra on Monday and went to the top of the Eiffel Tower. It was amazing!! We had a lot of fun even though it was really cold and windy. After spending the WHOLE day at the tower we went to eat at a fancy restaurant. I had delicious chicken and chocolate mousse for dessert. We ordered a bottle of wine for everyone which was also delicious. It was totally worth it and made the experience ten times better. After dinner we headed back to the beautiful view of the Eiffel Tower. Sierra hadn't seen it at night and was dying to see it. When it started sparkling she couldn't believe how beautiful it was. I guess, I can't get over how beautiful it is either and I have seen it multiple times. Meeting up with Mamie and Sierra was exciting because I had missed them so much! It's crazy how close we have all gotten but even now I miss them like crazy, I can't imagine what I would feel like if I hadn't seen them on Monday.
Right now the house is really lonely. My family is still in Tours with me but they are staying at a hotel. I figured it would just be cheaper for me to stay at "home". Alex arrived on Saturday but I haven't seen much of her since I got back. Hallie, Grant and Joel are in London...Sierra and Mamie are still in Paris...Aaron is in Amsterdam...this house is EMPTY !! It is driving me insane, I miss everyone and want everyone to come back ASAP!!!
Last night Jaqui-D invited my family over for dinner except Xavs wasn't there. We all spoke Spanish but Alex and Joel didn't talk much. Alex could understand and would say things every now and then but Joel just sat there confused. (I don't blame him) Dinner was great, as usual and then we had crêpes for dessert. It was perfect because Paola had been dying to have a crêpe(in France).
My family leaves on Saturday and I am not looking forward to it. It all went by way too quickly. :( Ugh, I am super tired. I am heading to bed.
i.L.y.A!
