a step into the not so distant past day 1-2





So, since I have not posted a single thing since I have been here I will try to make up for lost time. I will start with day one and Two. When we arrived, dispite our exsaution we wandered around paris. This first day we walked, walked and walked some more enjoying the view. we saw the louvre (just outside, not in) we saw the Arc de Triomphe. We walked on the Champs Elysees, one of the most prestiges streets in Paris. We saw from a distance the Eiffle Tower, the Notre Dame and many other popular places. We had both a lovely dinner and lunch. The next Day we woke up early to go to the parade for Bastile day. It was warm out but it was fun to see all the different troops of the French military and to see the president of France.

Sorry

I know I said I would post everyday, but I have been busy busy busy. I just got back from the south of france, and I am now in Paris. I didnt have much access to the Internet while I was there so that is why I have no posts. I will update everyone very soon with pictures.

playing catch up

I haven't written in this for a long time. its been almost one year since my trip to Israel last summer. I am in school trying to get my credits done so I can transfer to a university. I hope to take another trip this summer, however being a student on a student budget I am not sure if that will be likely. Adam's cousin from France last week and he wants us to visit him in Paris, that would be wonderful. I have been to Paris once, i loved it and would love to visit it again. Nothing interesting is going on right now, just studying and working. Last week we took a short trip to Carmel California. We took Adam's cousin along with us. The trip was beautiful despite the cold weather. We drove down highway one and stoped at a fruit store where we got fresh organic strawberries, artichoke salsa, honey still in the honey comb, and some pistachios. we stoped at the Monterrey beach and had a lovely picnic with the food we purchased. After that we took the 17 mile scenic drive which goes through pebble beach. we admired one of the most famous golf courses and searched for sea creatures in the tide pools. We watched seals play and sea lions lie in the sun on rocks. when we got to Carmel we did a bit of shopping and then walked to Carmel beach to watch the sun set. It was a cold evening so we quickly rushed to our hotel which had the most delightful view of the ocean, and from there went to a lovely little french restaurant. overall it was a beautiful day. the next day we had pastries and went home. we are in Reno right now visiting my grandparents. I always like coming here and just spending time with my family. in two days we will head back home to start our routine again.
