Day 54 - Catacombes

After getting sufficient sleep and doing some french homework, I met up with Hanna, Todd (Hanna and I hung out with him a couple of weeks ago), Bart, Dan, and Miro (a guy from our ward) to go to the Catacombes! They were awesome.

I got accused of not liking to take pictures of people (which is not true, it just doesn't usually work out...), so I took one :) Bart is in front with Miro behind him. Not very good because I didn't use flash, but at least I got a picture with people in it :D

t was so dark that my shutter had to be open for almost a minute sometimes! Okay, I exaggerate, but at least 30 seconds, which is still a long time to hold still.

"Stop! This here is the empire of the dead."


I know it is fuzzy, but look at all those bones! They went on and on and on and on! There were millions.
You can see the sections of the skull. Pretty cool. It was really hard to get this picture, but I wanted it so Miro held my arm to keep it steady. Thanks :)




That was pretty much the end of the catacombes. Cool, n'est-ce pas? After that, we hung out for a while. It was fun!

I came home after that and did what? French homework. I am finally done! Now I just need to study for the test on monday... Wish me luck!

Ariel! I didn't even know you were in France. That is so bloody cool, and your photos are beautiful. I am jealous, I suck at taking photos in churches, and the catacombs are awesome, and France is awesome, and you are awesome. So it works.

ps-hopefully you didn't forget who I am like last time.

Day 21 - Class, Louvre, FHE

Class was good today. I had French 102 and Religion. Not bad. After that, I headed to the Louvre with Haley and Chelsea. I didn't bring my SLR with me because it wouldn't fit, so I took my point and shoot. Wow. What a difference. I knew I loved my SLR, but not I really love my SLR! I didn't take any good pictures, but I'll tell you that I did see Charles I Dismounted by Van Dyck. That was pretty exciting. I love to see paintings that I recognize. After we chilled at the Louvre for a while, we headed out (well, we lost Chelsea and found Richard) to the Ricks' place. We were a little early so we went to see the Eiffel Tower. We saw it all lit up. It was pretty awesome. Then off to the Ricks'. We played a charade-type game for FHE and it was a lot of fun. I really enjoyed myself. And I was able to use their super fast internet to update my blog. So it all worked out well and it was a good night! PS Thanks to those of you who have been able to post comments. I reall...

Baby Benji

My sister Rachel had her baby boy Benjamin earlier this morning. This is the 19th time I've been an aunt. And I still absolutely adore it. I get just as excited with each birth. He's a new life. He's a miracle. I love children. With Benjamin and Abi, his oldest sister. I love her face in this one! Isn't he just adorable? Look at that hair! Oh I love him :)
