Avant Paris!!

Well I didn't think I would have the time to post since I really wanted to finish a paper before I left for Paris...but alas other things came up...like preparing my room for my sister!!! Briana your bed is ready and waiting!! On a side note, have you ever tried to make the top bunk? It is nearly impossible to do! I also had to clean my room...so now it is nice and tidy! I am also getting curtains I believe so that might make it look a bit less like a prison cell.

Last night was fun, as a Bible study group we went out to dinner and I had some super good fries!!! It wasn't French food by any stretch of the imagination but it sure was good. We then talked about our dreams and being a dangerous dreamer. I realized that I may not be the dreamer but rather the person who can put others dreams into action. Or maybe I just need to dream more in general.

Today had an interesting start when I hit my foot on a wall and subsequently almost passed out...that was quite interesting and now my toe is... never-mind too much information. I then went and bought many souvenirs at the market! Including a basket for myself when I got to the vegetable market. I then got lunch and sat near an accordion player (which always adds to the French feel) I watched people go by and j'ai profite du soleil. (Or I enjoyed the sun...)



 I then went history class and then I cleaned my room. Then I went to go catch the bus to Tammy's house for dinner. Public transportation is always an adventure. Tammy had given us explicit instructions but even with the instructions we had a heard time finding the bus. I actually had to ask people for help (a new skill I acquired here). We eventually found and got on the correct bus. Then we thought it was our stop because Tammy had said Vigne-Longues. But this stop was Vigne-Longues Haute...but the stops were going really fast so I pressed the button to get off. Rather safe than sorry. So we were dropped basically in the middle of no where and realized we got off a stop early so we decided to start walking to the next stop while I found Tammy's phone number. About half way to the next stop Tammy's husband found us! YAY!

Dinner was lovely and her house is gorgeous! Now this morning I am getting ready to depart for Paris!!! (But honestly I'm more excited to see my family! I just hope my program director lets me see them!)
