Day 64 - Music, what is your favorite?

Sorry, but no pictures again. Today was pretty good. In French, we did the very first part of chapter 12. After lunch, I had music. We talked about German Art Song. It is really cool. Then we shared our favorite songs (mostly we just shared a song we like, but was not necessarily our favorite). I played Such Great Heights by the Postal Service. It is a cool song, you should check it out. Then study time for the French test! I had been studying so much I just wanted to get it over with. And finally we did. It went okay. Not as good as the last one, but fine nonetheless. After hanging out at the Institute (and getting some yummy pasta for dinner), I met up with Miro, a guy from the ward, and we went to a concert. Just us. Just kidding :) We met up with the most of the people in our group (including Dr Ricks) and went to this club-type place to listen to the concert. It was very interesting. It was hard to really call it music at some instances because they were just pounding on and hitting various items. But it was really cool and I liked it. One of the guys played a Marimba that had aluminum foil under the keys. It made a really awesome sound! And that was the end of my day. I headed home and packed - LONDON tomorrow! :)

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 :)

Day 54 - Dernier Jour

Last day in Paris! I can't believe it. I'm sure gonna miss this place. Ali, Shamra, Mckell, Claire and I headed out to the city this morning. First stop was the Opera house. I finally got to see the inside this time! Beautiful. We had some fun :) Then we went to Berko's, the wonderful cheesecake place. It wasn't open and it was 11:35. We thought they wouldn't open until 12 but as we were sitting there waiting, they opened the doors! Yay! I got creme brulee cheesecake. Oh it was divine. This is one of the things I will miss most about Paris! Love it. Then Claire and I went to the Jewish museum. It was pretty interesting. I couldn't take many pictures. Then off to the Promenade Plantee. It was a really beautiful walk. I like this flower. It's weird. Then we walked back to the metro. It was quite a long walk so we were very tired! We went to the Louvre for a little internet time. Afterward, we went to Laudree to get a present for Greg and Martha. Then back to t

Day 55 - Home

I'll miss the metro, I'll miss the city, I'll miss the museums, I'll miss the tourist attractions, I'll miss the people, I'll miss the photo opportunities, I'll miss the rush. I'll miss this place. I got up early this morning, finished packing up, ate breakfast, then headed to the Roissy bus with Elisabeth and Ali. Who are, by the way, angels! I am so grateful to them for helping me. I absolutely could not have done it without them unless I got a taxi. And even then, I'm not sure. Once on the nice Roissy bus, I slept a little bit. It was good. SO much better than taking the RER B, which is what everyone else took who was on our flight. And it ended up being cheaper. Then we finally got to the airport. Elisabeth checked my duffel (thanks again!), which was fine on weight. Then I checked my large bag, except it was 4 kilo over. If I wanted to pay for that, it would be 150 euros. No thank you. So I had to get some stuff out of it. They gave me a AirFran
