Woke up at NINE o’clock today, what a restful night. Everyone else had jetlag and wanted to sleep in so I slept in too!! Got dressed, had BRIOCHE this morning aka to-die-for breakfast nummy yummy bread and blackberry jam. Goofed off on facebook a bit, read, and then started my day.
Got dressed, strolled out to the Eiffel tower with a chicken and fromage Panini and orangina in tow. Got harassed by vendors and gypsies for money and waited for my 2 new friends from ISA. Met up with them about 1pm then we took a metro to find la rue de rennes….eventually. got lost in the town not being able to find the street haha but had a chocolate croissant to pass the time so it’s all good…and fanta. Janet is addicted to orangina and French fanta, not NOT American fanta.
Finally found our street and hit the sales at H & M, the store here is much classier than those in usa. The sales for france started today so that’s why it was a day to SHOP…too bad my friends dropped after about an hour haha. They were jetlagged as hell so I hurried through H & M, wound up buying an ADORABLE flowery overshirt for 10 euro that looks Paris and then left.
we found a monoprix aka smaller target and not as trendy, my friends bought their essentials they needed like shampoo and then we sat within the monoprix for about an hour and a half sipping fantas and munching on croissants and I had a pastry thing that was pistachio BREAD with blackberries on top…I died a little SHO GOOD.
Talked about life, men and France for a long time. None of us want to marry a Frenchman at the current time so we had that in common as well as a neck phobia haha.
Then went to zara, a famous chain here in france. I found a floral skirt that is SO PARIS for 10 euro also, I’m such a find-finder!!! I love sales. Maybe shopping another time too, it was time for dinner. I had this lasagna type dish, some corn (not as fresh as back home!), some cheese/bread of course and CRÈME BRULEE ICE CREAM OH MON DIEU YUM!!
Now I’m just sitting in my room, maybe reading, going to bed EARLY. I am meeting the same friends tomorrow for two of my most-desired museums I neeeeed to see: Musee Marmottan and Musee L’Orangerie, the 1st is all Monet and the 2nd has the REAL waterlilies of Monet. I am SOOO EXCITEDDDD!!
Bad news kids, my knee is like…sore. Like I can walk with a limp and be comfortable. I am my dad’s daughter with knee problems. It’s probably from walking for seven straight days…holy poo….i’ve been here for a full week!!! As of today I have gotten through an entire week in paris!!! Woweee!!!
In other news, I’m on vacation until Monday. Also, I will not blog Saturday but Sunday I will blog about our st.michel excursion, we’re staying in a hotel Saturday night not in Paris.
In other news, I love Paris, I’m getting to know some really nice people. They keep saying I belong on All That or on commercials or animated films and I love them for it. I don’t know where my life is going but I know Paris is the place for me!!! (right now ;) I am excited to see everyone soon!!!)
Also, please don’t anyone try to send me anything here for my birthday, it’s far and I’d rather just get things when I get back. Who knows if I would even receive it before I leave, shipping is poo. But facebook wishes and love sent over the ocean are welcome :)
