November 14
I wrote this with 3 days delay and my pens werent working anymore.
So finally I arrived in Paris by 9h30 at Lyon Station and by 10h30 I was reaching my uncles and my mother. Not much happened that day as its been relax. I found quite easily the place they rent, which was funny. We called home, I went to get my things at Pascal, the mailman and called Gil whom I will join on friday. I remark after all that friday is still pretty far... :s
I cleaned up my bags and things. While staying quiet with my mother and discussing after such a long time.

Today with my mother and Jean-Marc, we went to visit La Défense and also we went to get my plane ticket back to Canada for December 11 all in the time I wanted, which is good. I will spend some time with Gil till then even if it will be impossible to be with her all the time (university, appartment, problems... :(
I will surely try to disturb her as less as possible and use the moment I can. I dont really know what are the conditions and what are her conditions. Even if I know about the little one which might be something. Still few day and I will have a big smile!

It's today that I wrote my last 2 days and its my third one with my mother. Its rough as the mentality is totally not the same and the way of travelling also. She doesnt always know how to react or what to do, she gets stress and lose her way. A little bit as it was with Philippe.
I'm looking forward to be with Gil and what will happen to discuss and talk. And especially to be near her.
At the moment I'm doing my laundry at last and after we will go to the Eiffel tower to take some pictures. Gilles and Jean-Marc will come back from the Bois de Boulogne later so that we can go to the Père Lachaise cemetery. I find that we dont do much within a day... because the older one are quite slow.
But well at least I had already seen much of Paris and its still pretty the same and well I cant compare to all of what I have seen previously anywhere else.
Well for now Paris is pretty cold and wet but the sky is perfectly blue. I'm still having some weeks of travelling to plans!
Finally we ended the day by walking by night on the Champs Élysées and the Arc de Triomphe.

Spend at Le Louvres,
I took several notes of what I saw
Salle Richelieu:
Milon de Crotonne - Soldat de Marathon
Hercule... several greek marble statue
Mesopotamian statue and Babylonian gates
Also several egyptian treasure
Then, Napoleon's appartment
Finally to move to the painting area to see several Flemish painter... its all huge!
So the whole day has been spent at le Louvres and finished with a look at La Joconde (mona lisa) to finally leave and then I use the moment to do some night photography of Paris. Writing, eating and sleep!

Today we woke up, Gilles left to Switzerland and we left to visit the Invalides, Napoleon tombs and the army museum. Later, my mother and Jean-Marc left to the Montmartre while I stayed quietly at the appartment awaiting tomorrow. Sadly thinking of her, just of her and hating the fact that we are so far. And wondering about how it could work out and trying to find a way without problems. I'm ready for everything and want to be with her... but how?
Begin thousand miles apart, I wish to be back but its financial rough to imagine.
I will need to be strict and organise myself in consequence.
What to do? Does she want it?
I will do it all... see you tomorrow!
