gorgeous.

Okay, Well I couldn't upload pictures. I've tried 3 times within last night and today. It continues to tell me "bad request." I don't know.. I'll try to get some up here as soon as I can. Yesterday was great!! As I mentioned we went to the Louvre and d'Orsay. Two large museums and beautiful museums. Umm.. After that we came back here, hung out and what not..

Then we meet up with Jim's mom, sister (Christine) , and sister's best friend (Leann). It was so nice to see them!! You could tell how excited Mrs. Ondesko was to see Jim! Well, we took some pictures of the Eiffel Tower.. As Leann said to me "You can't take too many pictures of it." And it's the truth, you really can't. They all look the same, maybe from a slightly different angle or something but.. it's just so beautiful, you can't get enough! We went and got something to eat. John was talking French like always.. and the waiter goes "Anglais?" YES! haha. We got an English menu.. and of course there were still questions of what everything was! hahah. How sad is that?! Well we went back to the Eiffel tower and it was lite up white!! We took more pictures and finally got in line.. WE'RE GOING UP!! AH! It was sooooo high up there. But the point and the over look of the city was amazing. Words nor pictures can begin to describe the view. (I did take pictures, I'll have to show you later!) Then we walked Jim's family back to their hotel. We wanted to make sure they found their way safely. They actually arne't too far away from us! It's even nicer that they are on the same metro that we are!! After that though, we came back here. It was a day FULL of walking! My legs were pretty tired! haha

I decided I wanted to sleep in today. So this morning the boys meet up with Mrs. Ondesko, Christine, and Leann at the Louvre and toured it again. I figured a few hours of extra sleep for me might be best! So, I wrote this for you ... and I'll hop the metro (BY MYSELF) and ride to meet up with them! I'm excited to finally do this myself! It's day time, so I'm not worried. Plus to get to the Louvre you only use only two metros. It's not bad at all! After I meet up with them we are going to grab lunch and me and the girls are going SHOPPING! FINALLY! GIRLS + SHOPPING = YESSSS :) haha. We will shop for a few hours and then head back. I'll make sure they get off at their metro and I'll come back here. We then have to get ready and out again! This time we are going to Gerry's apartment! He is having a bunch of people over, I believe including us & Jim's family, there will be around 20! I'm looking forward to this. Of course, it will be a normal "French dinner." So, with us arriving at 7, we probably won't be leaving until 12! haha. Well I better go get ready to leave soon!! I'm meeting up with everyone at 12:30, it's 11 now.. I want to ge ta few more things together and hit the metro up!! I'll write back tonight.. and hopefully upload some picturesss!!
