Day 29 - The reason my blog is titled as it is

The first museum we went to this morning was the Tate Britain.



Triptych by Bacon. Odd.










Then we were instructed to head to the Wallace Collection after having some lunch. Several of us headed there right away and ate lunch in front of the building.
For lunch, I had a tuna with sweet corn sandwich. It was quite delicious.

Finally we headed into the museum. It was uptight so I didn't think we could take pictures. That was okay though because there wasn't anything particularly famous there except for this:
The Swing by Fragonard. Pretty cool. And also very small.


After class, Tabitha and I went to Leicester Square to try to get tickets for Legally Blond. Unfortunately, they were full priced so we decided not to go. We got fish and chips for dinner (delicious), then decided that we would try to get tickets to Wicked. Elisabeth, Ali, Shamra, and Hilary also decided to go. So we did go there and got great tickets for way cheap! So exciting. After getting some ice cream we headed into the show. AH! It was so incredible. We had great seats for a great price. We could see everything wonderfully and had the most amazing experience. This was my third time seeing it and this Elphaba was seriously the best I have ever heard. Mind-blowing. I loved it so much! Legally Blonde would have been fun, but would not have offered the same incredible experience that Wicked can give out so easily. I just loved it. I did not want it to end ever! But, unfortunately, it did end and we had to journey back to our hotel.
If you have the chance to see this, do not pass up the opportunity! You will never regret it!

The Wicket Theatre is pretty cool, isn't it?! I love that they put the green lights on the outside of it.

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
