Hello again!
So, Britt and I are spending our last day in Paris today; tomorrow its off to Ireland. And, as you probably could tell from the title, I am sick... and it sucks!! I have been coughing, sneezing, sniffling, and feeling generally unwell for the past 2 days (and 2 long nights). So, because of this, we have been having some pretty early nights. Even so, Britt and I managed to get up and make it out to Versailles yesterday to do a tour of the absolutely massive palace that Louis the 14th built (I dont know when, I am bad with years). I was gorgeous, and of course, huge. Britt had downloaded yet another audio tour onto her mp3 player so that made it more interesting, and cheaper. We didnt spend a whole lot of time in Versailles as it was raining on and off, which didnt help me feel any better. So we just came back into Paris and walked around a bit before heading back to our hotel for some dinner and an early night.
Today we got up and went into central Paris to see some things that we had missed before. First we stopped at the Fragonards Perfumerie and both Britt and I bought some fantistic eau de toilette's. Next we walked down to the Musee de l'Orangerie... but not before stopping at the Godiva Chocolaterie to get a milk chocolate drink that was absolute heaven... anyways... the Musee de l'Orangerie, to be honest, didnt interest me that much... but now I can say I've been there. After that we had some lunch at a little cafe and walked down to Notre Dame. It was very beautiful inside with massive stained glass windows and we were planning on climbing the tour... but the 420 stairs and the 1-2 hour wait just did not appeal to either of us... so we made our way back to the hotel where I am now. I am relieved to be able to get some more rest. I feel absolutely exhausted. Hopefully I will recover soon... oh yah... and somehow I managed to hurt my foot... I dont know how, and I dont know what exactly is wrong, but I think I just need some stretching and rest. Dont worry mom and dad, I will be fine!!! I am really not that bad... haha... anyways, I'm going to rest now. I miss all of you Contiki friends that I've just added... I was a little scared to leave the comforts of the group, but we seem to be doing alright without you guys!! Miss you!!
