OMG my family is here. This morning I woke up and as I was getting ready I saw them out the window. I started jumping and banging on the window. They finally saw me. It was killing me though because they were so close yet we hadn't finished customs yet. Well they finally got on. I got to show them around the boat. It was so cool to have them here. After that we hoped on a bus for our city orientation. We went to a museum which I wasn't crazy about but it was a good time to just catch up with my sisters. Then we went to see like the Notre dam cathedral which Katherine says was almost identical to the other one. We went be the palace but we couldn't go in because they were having government meetings in there so it was closed to the public for the next couple of days. We headed to lunch next and I had a chance to show off my wonderful chopstick skills. Kim and Katherine didn't really eat much all they could talk about was getting back to their Mexican food. I could really go for some right now. Then we decided we would go off on our own. We went to get our dresses made. We went to a fabric alley and picked out what we wanted and then went to the tailors. I got some cool dresses made that I will have to surprise everyone with upon my arrival. After that the girls headed back to the boat for a nap and I went to this store where they sell model boats with my mom. We bought quite a few and shipped them home so I am excited to get them when I get back. After dinner, Kim and I went out. Katherine and Val bailed and went to sleep. Oh well their loss. We had a blast. We had so many drinks. Kim got to meet all my friends and she really liked them. She also made friends with a girl from St. Edward which is cool for here. We came back at about 2 and had to get ready for and early morning.
