Bonsoir!
Another exhausting and awesome day! Today we got up early (had to take advantage of the free breakfast offered at the hostel) and decided to fill our day with Paris sight-seeing. Our first stop was, of course, the Eiffel Tower! It was pretty freaking awesome.
I’m going to be posting a video … and before I do I want to explain that my actions in this video were coerced by my sister – CASSIE – who decided that this would be the ultimate way for me to show just how much I love her. The video will explain the rest …
oh yeah, and this might be kinda icky ...
Our next stop was the Musee d’Orsay, which was really nice. Michelle and I were both quite exhausted, so we weren’t able to enjoy the whole thing, but we did get to see some fantastic art.
Third – and definitely most intense – was the Cathedral de Notre Dame. It was GORGEOUS and AMAZING and so fantastic I can’t even think of enough adjectives to describe the experience. I have pics and videos, which I will post as soon as I can.
After all this, we found a little bakery (not that we had to search, since they are EVERYWHERE and so delicious :)). Michelle picked up some treats and had what seems to be the world’s most delicious coffee meringue. Don’t believe me? I’m sure she’ll tell you! :)
We head to Montpellier tomorrow. It’s only 7pm here but I am completely exhausted, so I think this post will be kept short in favour of some rest.
Talk to you tomorrow, from Montpellier!!!!!
Xoxo

Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of God's kindness: kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile. -- Mother Teresa
Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so love the people who treat you right, forget about the ones who don't, and believe that everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said it'd be easy, they just promised it would be worth it. --Unknown
“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!”
Jack Kerouac
"Take wrong turns. Talk to strangers. Open unmarked doors. And if you see a group of people in a field, go find out what they're doing. Do things without always knowing how they'll turn out. You're curious and smart and bored, and all you see is the choice between working hard and slacking off. There are so many adventures you miss because you're waiting to think of a plan. To find them, look for tiny interesting choices. And remember that you are always making up the future as you go." - http://xkcd.com/267/

something i love ...
my favourite part about eating spaghetti at home is dipping that little bit of leftover noodles into that little bit of leftover sauce - and eating it with my fingers!
