so we saw lots of really cool things in paris.. the hunchback of notre dame.. the eiffel tower.. we got a sweet spot in a park on the hill to watch the little light show at 11 pm, then made our way over there and up it, and ended up being up there for the light show at midnight! it was pretty cool.. totony took us for a picnic in luxembourg park.. we had fresh baguettes, eight different kinds of cheese(!) three different meats, and a bottle of french red wine.. it was the classiest picnic ive ever experienced to date. i think unfortunately i must swear off picnics forever because they will never compare.. i saw these two police officers on rollerblades and for fun asked them if i could take a picture with them, then the one guy asked me if i could email it to him and gave me his email address! haha.. quite the professional.. we went on a boat which was pretty cool, spent an afternoon on the river.. went up on sacre de coeur and got a really nice panoramic view of the city.. got caught in the rain while we were up there so we ducked into a little cafe for some crepes.. not that we really needed an excuse.. we had them every day we were there.. it was tough to leave that place! but now were in brussels, got here a few days ago.. staying with this woman ingrid, shes 42 and the coolest person ever. shes taking very good care of us! now were going to go check out a photography exhibition so im going to dash. alicia, the marathon is on. cant wait. xoxo
