Last Day

Nicky and I walked around today. We came back to the apartment to choreograph our "See You Again" dance. It's epic to a maximum level and I can not wait to film it. On our way to a boat tour we stopped at this Church called St. Germain. It was small, old, and very beautiful. I got that amazing imagery of ancient monks and civilians pacing through the church. People were singing wonderful Latin songs. Unfortunately we had to leave abruptly to catch the boat tour. The boat tour was freezing. I don't know how Nicky and I stayed out on the deck so long! Tomorrow I am living the day twice. LA is soon. Randomly, Amsterdam is sooner. Finally! I get to say I have been to Holland! All my dreams are finally fulfilled. 

Day 5

Today we went to a cooking class hosted by a women named Marguerite at her house. First we went to a market and got some fresh ingredients for this "fabulous chicken dish." Shiver. "Fabulous" and "dish" should never be in the same sentence. In fact, dish should never be used to describe a plate of food.  This is a pet peeve of mine. The chicken was really good. No sarcasm there. We also made this amazing apple tart. I had so many slices. "Slice" is another pet peeve! Nicky and I worked together. The other people taking the class seemed to have interesting laughs. When the class was over, most of the other tourists, my mom, Nicky, and I went to the Metro to catch the train home. It was strange (and rather corny), but I felt really close to these people even though I only knew them for a couple hours. 

Day 4

We went to Monet's Garden. So pretty! His house is so amazing. Later we went to Rodin's house. Then we went to a hamburger joint in the gay neighborhood that we are staying in. We took the Metro to Musee D'Orsay afterwards. I am writing this really late. Sorry! Not that anyone has looked at this. It is late and Nicky is sleeping and breathing deeply. Makes...me...tired. I will post pictures from this day when I import them.
Notre Dame
-A palette? Am I reading this right? You need a palette of chocolate cover pretzels. Wh-wh-where the hell am I suppose to-. What is this? A drum of grape jam? Is that like a drum like they ship oil in? And, and, and look at this one! A desk of Cheez-its. A desk? Where are you getting these units of measurement from?!
-Maaary!

Day 3

So I am two days behind, but let me just give a quick synopsis of day 3. Wake up. Hot pic taken.
We went to Versaille! You know in the time of Marie Antoinette, as much as women said they suffered with all the corsets, they must have had so much fun. Wearing one of those dresses would be totally awesome. We saw the Hall of Mirrors and every other extremely elaborate room that is available to the public.
This is the only time it's OK to take a mirror picture. *~*mYsPaCe*~* lolol!
We even found an ice cream cone like the one Hugh Harris steals in the Ooh La music video.
After, we went to Pere Lachaise where Jim Morrison is buried. 
 There were so many ancient graves. Are you thinking paranormal activity because I am
Well this is extremely late.

Paris


Bonjour fellow Earthlings! Let's just cut to the current events here. Paris: the place I am. I know, my English is top-knotch. It is my second day here with me mum and best chap, Nicky otherwise known as Bo, Po, or Do. Basically, you take 'O' then put a different letter in front of it. It works because she is small and nothing suits a small thing more than one syllable, o words!Today I woke up at roughly 8 o'clock to the face of Po in a state of REM. I lay there creepily staring at her in hopes she would wake up to a hair-raising gaze. No luck. As Nicky floated through her dream world, she must have come upon something uncomfortable because her face and arms just scrunched up into a tight frown. 
It's difficult to explain with words (especially the arm part), but this image to
 the right pretty much sums it up.
After lying in bed for 2 hours, I woke her up. We got ready then walked to get crepes, coffee, and orange juice. I got sugar and lemon, she got Nutella and banana. My mom got chestnut cream, which was surprisingly tasty. After our 50 frickin' dollar breakfast, we ventured to Notre Dame, or should i say gypsy haven. Note to gypsies:
If you really want to steal from somebody, why do you have to dress up like a gypsy?! I mean i don't encourage this act of begging, but heres an idea. I can immediately spot you in a crowd and once I do i get the hell out of there. Dressing up like a common stranger would definitely bring in more loot.
Anyway, Notre Dame was spectacular. We walked around the whole building and listened to Gregorian chant (our favorite.) 

Next stop was the Luxembourg Garden! That is pretty much all I can say. It was lovely and lush. We then went to Montmarte and rode the carousel. 
After, we travelled to the Two Windmills, which was featured in the french film Amelie. There was a hilarious waiter who immediately turned up Glass Onion when we started dancing. He opened bottles weird and mocked Nicky. 
Nearby was a sex shop and the Moulin Rouge! Finally! I've reached heaven! (Note: Sarcasm.) Nicky and I just had to strut our stuff in front of the porn store. 
We then went to the Eiffel Tower. It was so amazing! I forgot how big it was. That's what she said... Nicky and I had a fabulous time exploring the architecture. We went all the way to the top! Au revoir!
