Day 70 - Crazy day

French was fine today. During lunch, Hanna and I watched some videos on YouTube. The first was 70 Million by Hold Your Horses. It is so fun! Then we watched a video where an electrician plays a joke on his apprentice and gets a banana in his eye. It is hilarious! Then we had a lecture by Leilei Tian (not sure on the spelling). It was more of her journey in discovering God and the Church. She also played some of her compositions. It was very interesting. After that, a few of us went on an adventure to see some Incorruptable Saints. It took us a long time, but we finally found two nuns. It was really cool. They looked like wax-figures, but that was just because wax was put on their faces and hands to protect them from decaying. Oh yeah, forgot to mention that they are dead bodies. What happend is they were buried, then excavated (a hundred or so years late) and were still perfectly intact. Then they were put in the church. Pretty crazy stuff. We tried to find a guy in another Church, but it started raining like crazy, so we didn't search any longer. Instead, Chelsea and I met up with Hanna and went to FHE. It was fun. I can't believe there are only two more left! This semester has gone by so fast. After that, I just headed home and did some homework. So much fun ;)

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
