my aunt is curled in bed at the moment. my mom is sort of sprawled out on hers. they are talking about sometime when i was supposed to be mortified. like 5 years ago. i have no idea. its very giggly in here. about 5 minutes ago they were talking about a purse we saw yesterday that said "I am adorable" in French, but my aunt thought it said "Jesus is adorable." and now i've read this paragraph back to them, and they are laughing even more. goodness.
anywho. i'm in Paris. its crazy. we took this fantastic tour today, they're called Fat Bike Tours, and we rode all around Paris for about 4 hours. it wasn't actually that bad. i know when you hear 4 hours, it sounds a bit out there, but we didn't ride really fast or anything. plus Paris is flat. it was really interesting too. our tour guide - who was from Texas - was really insightful. i learned a lot about the history. here is the short way to remember the different louies:
- Louie the 14th built it
- Louie the 15th lived it
- Louie the 16th lost it
eventually we got to the Effiel Tower and walked to the Arch de Triomphe (i really don't think i spelled that right). both were amazing. i bought a ticket to go all the way to the top of the tower, but by the time we got up to the 2nd one, i was pretty sure i would have a panic attack if i went all the way to the top. for those of you who don't know this, i have a little bit of a fear of heights. it only comes out on certain occasions. i remember one time i had to be led down an old abandoned 50 foot water slide by the hand because i was freaking out so much. random sidenote.
so anyway...here are some of my favorite pictures from the day. i'll see if i get a chance to put up the rest on Facebook while i'm here, since i have internet.
