Merci, Parie, Qui me parle?


Yes yes, we are back from Paris and had a fabulous time of course...how could we not...Juan, Annie and I. All I can say is cheap wine and a little drinking games done a person good! Well well lets see, I will try to make a breif rendition of the events that happened!

First night annie and I arrived in Paris at Midnight, which i wouldnt recommend, walking around with our luggage trying to find our hostel. Not too bad, but could have been better! We got there and got a room complete with 4 beds? and a shower curtainless shower also lacking a shower head holder. Needless to say showering was an ordeal in itself! But we woke up on Firday and Juan met us at our Hostel! Yeah! My numero Uno! Juan! We decided to just wonder and see what happened so we did the Arch de Truimph first and it took us a while to figure out how to get to the center of it...we almost died crossing the street...then we just started heading for the Eiffel Tower which of course can be seen from all over the city! We decided to go to the top...yeah 11 euros later we were there and we could see the whole city! Dont forget the part where Juan say the Monument of Eiffel and saw the dates below him and asked if that was how long it took to build the thing...we'll excuse him, he isnt American...thats what he says anyways! Oh and then Juan, my dance partner for life, and I danced in front of the Tower until a gypsy lady came up to us asking for money! Anyways that night concluded with some grocery shopping buying only wine and only buying the ones that matched our outfits. Thats how we picked them out. Totally legit way of doing things! Oh and we danced in the aisles! Dancing is a must of course! Annie, Juan and I headed to his hotel and spent a ridiculous amount of time drinking cheap wine and playing ridiculous card games! Too much fun!

Day two consisted of Annie and I on our own which meant one thing! Shopping! So we headed toward the Galleries da La Fayette! We ran into the Opera House on the way! Yeah! The Mall was fun, including some strippers, famous French models, and Prada Burberry and Chanel! Can't really go wrong! We wondered around and only made one purchase which is all we could afford there really. A sleeping mask...and we had no idea what they said when we got them! Yeah French! Anyways we looked for some special presents....;) but couldnt manage to find them. Next we headed to the Louvre of course...which is Gigantic by the way, we didnt go inside to see the museum because it would have taken forever and a day to go through the thing but we wondered around outside and through the gardens for a while! We also saw the Obelisque at the end of the gardens as well as a bride with way too many feathers on her dress! Erin...no MAAM!...No Feathers! Anyways it started raining a bit so we headed back to our hostel with Kebabs in hand and called it a night!

Pwweee...one more day to go! So we met Juan again and started wondering around aimlessly and got to see the Moulin Rouge. Then we took a four hour detour to try to find the Hard Rock Cafe...found it ate some mac and cheese and headed out! Next was the Notre Dame which was a topic of controversy. Annie says this is the one from the Hunchback and Juan said it was the Notre Dame in Spain. Arguement solved when we got back and googled it! Annie was right...Juan you're wrong! Boo!!! I had no idea and I was going to let those Catholics argue it out! Anyways we took some fabulous pictures in front of the Norte Dame on Palm Sunday and watched some really cool skaters do some tricks! Entertaining...we then went shopping on the street markets and got a little something for some special people plus myself! But anywasy then we thought it would be a good idea to go drink some more cheap wine..so we did of course! And htat is how we spent our last night in Paris...drinking cheap wine and listening to some good old Texas Country! Annie loved it! But I guess that is all for now! I am back temporarily in Prague until Thursday when I leave for Berlin! Yeah! and then I have two weeks of freedom! But there is only one thing left to say!...

We'll always have Paris! :)
