Ibis Hotel Rungis

... day and did most of the walking as Aidan's legs were always "tired" and I had to put him on my head. Picasso was cool and the kids got a kick out of reading what the picutures were called. Both kids acutally touched one of the paintings. After the usher yelled at Aidan they got the message. ( I wonder what the bill on that would be with a finger hole through the canvas of a Picasso original?) Again should have taken a taxi back, but that section of the city ...

... et j'ai persévéré dans mes découvertes et redécouvertes. Je suis revenu pour les 18 heures à l'appartement. Il est maintenant 18h40, et je vais bientôt aller me siffler une broue avec Pierre-Luc, une petite allemande qui me semble plutôt désaltérante : ) Alors voilà, sauf catastrophe, c'est notre dernière journée à Paris, demain nous gagnerons Reims, en Champagne-Ardennes, via la gare de l'Est ! Nous partons demain matin un peu avant dix heures, et demain soir nous coucherons chez un gars ...

... it justice but its pretty hard to blog tastes.....but just trust me you all should be jealous.....hahaha Then for the final day of Robbys birthday ( Yes we are on day 3) John arrived and we had a hotel party with presents which Robby loved and ALL the BIRTHDAY emails made her heart so happy......Many thanks you are all too kind!!!!! She really appreciated it. Robbys Birthday in Europe = SUCCESS!!!!!

... started parting (Tera said it brought to mind the parting of the red sea) and we were waved through to the front of the queue. The issue was our wine - apparently they are not allowed to sell wine from the store after 9pm, so they needed to check us straight through. Everyone was perfectly happy for us to go ahead, as naturally we needed wine to complete the true French meal! The French can be very serious and reserved, while at other times they are very ...

... I like to imagine what it would have been like 800 or 900 years ago when they were building the fortress. I tag along with a group of French 6th graders as they get a tour from their teachers. They don't notice me at first, but then the teachers kind of give me questioning looks. Right-ho. Time to move on then! When we meet again as a group, most of the kids express regret that we had so little time.. and then they decide that they need lunch! We go to the food court ...

... broken. I wasn't happy at all. The only thing I liked about the plane was cute male flight attendants. I guess that is a big point to forgive all above mistakes. Yi-chen was waiting with her French friend, Caroline at the airport, CDG. Caroline took us around main Paris area and we walked around to purchase the Museum Pass we read on the travel guide book by the Museum Louvre. We'll see how ...

... of the girls started climbing on the monkey bars. Eventually some of the guys joined in as well...I didn't join in basically because it was my thing and I believe that I was wearing a skirt as well (don't remember actually) so that might have been my deterrant. But still I watched them play with the kids and challange each other to climb to the top which was very funny to watch and a lot of fun. Then after their climb they all came back, lied ...

... as possible. He likes running - he was training for the Paris marathon while we were there. He understands English, but doesn't speak much. Fortunately, he spent 3 years studying in Spain and Mexico, so we just spoke Spanish the whole time. I expected to take him out to dinner or something in order to show our appreciation, but he cooked for us all 3 nights because he wanted us to have a taste of some French food. Free room and dinner, amazing! He also showed us around his ...

I can't believe my stay in Paris is almost half complete! (I got here on the overnight train Friday morning). I love the city, love the language, love people. Friday I dropped my things off at my aunt and uncle's house and said a quick hello to my cousin, Clemence, who left for Barcelona that afternoon (I'll see her there later). Then I met up with my friend Sylvain, who I met in Valencia to explore a bit. We walked all over and saw l'opera ...

... but I was introduced to her cousin the DJ, Christophe, and his fiancee. Everyone kept talking to me and kept me entertained which was very nice cause they could've shoved me into a corner somewhere, especially since English was the second language. Christophe's fiancee was especially nice and I feel terrible that I can't remember her name!! Elina, tell her I said hi! And thanx! So Elina gets there with some foot thingy so she can't dance although the music was pretty good. The current DJ was ...
