Oh man this is going to be an update and a half
SO after the whole your moving sites debacle it turns out that im not....im staying here in AZE so i only found this out Friday morning so all week i had Caff tell me about the cool stuff in Lochmine and i was so so so excited cause they have a pool so close that i could have gone on my days off....and then Friday morning after i had packed all my stuff like allllllll my stuff three hours before we were lmeaving to go to the next site Caff got a call from bunny saying i was staying so i sped to my room packed my little bag and got ready to go to PARIS
We planned to go cause its enroute anyway but this just made it easier for me to not drag my massive bag around!!!
So we managed to hitch a ride on the bus with the kids they live about 30 min outside of PAris so we spent 4 hours on a bus with the kiddiesand then took a 5€ train to the city....were we left Willow to see her boyfriend and then Ishta left to go find his friends....so it was just Cookie Rabbit Blue and myself which made me the minority as far as race was concerned.......we all shared cookies hotel room it had two single beds squished together but itwas freeeeee
We went out that night to this bar that had happy hour after eating crappy crappy texmex food....the waiter was awesome, from Senigal(spelling) and so we exchanged info with him so if anyone wants to come to Sengal we got a hook up ahaha then we moved on to a Cuban bar where we had a pitcher of Margaritas soooooo great then we headed over to Route 66 for nachos and beer.....basically best night EVER
The hotel is in Bastille district so there are so many amazing places!!!!
So day two was supposed to be full of sightseeing but people were slow moving....they couldnt quite keep up with the speed that is a 21 year old
By the time we had lunch internet cafe and found a place to stay for the night it was 2:30 and i was itching for culture so i finally got their butts movinh andf we went shopping at this mall which was so packed it made me want to cry!!! I needed headphones because the left side doesnt work i ran my flip flops into the ground annnd yeah sooo off we went passing Notre Dame on the way which broke my heart.... I found hot pink headphones and puma flip flops even though i wanted havianas
At the end of shopping they were all like k lets go back so i was like NO WAY IN HELL
so i said goodbye to them and decided to go out for some culutre....off i went by myself in Paris i saw Notre Dame with a service going on which was utterly wicked and then crossed the river and saw Saint Severn which i learned about in school which was also having a service so very cool...then i went down all these cool streets and there in the window of a store were Havianas so i bought some of those too YEAH!!!! Then i bought some tourist crap and got once again yelled at for not knowing French by the tourist man....it didnt help i used my french bank account card
And then i just kept walking and walking and ended up at the Luxemburgh Garden and Castle which if you know Paris isnt exactly in the same district so then i wandered trying to find a metro finally found one and then realized I A) didnt know where i wwas and B) how to get home lol
But the metero is super easy and i made it back i only got lost at the other end i went out the wrong exit at Gare de Lyon and ended up on the wrong side of the Gare so woot to me
So then we all got dressed up in skirts and went out drinkinnnng we had been all seperated earlier and we never did find cookie again but Ishta Blue Rabbit and I and Ishtas friend who is working at American Village also came too!!
So we went kinda the same route the happy hour bar where we met more waiters got more beer for some odd reason got a plate of whipped cream and straberrys for free from them and then got a digestif drink as well....Laura i had Lychee.....so then we swent off to Route 66 where we got a 2L test tube of Beer and then off to bed we had a room on the top floor of the hotel tonight and it was a struggle the elevator only went to the Third floor......Ishta managed to fall asleep on the floor with his hands above his head and the rest of us kinda fell alseep....
NExt day we all got up not feeling so hot...but i needed culture so we checked out and i went off to Versaille.....fountains baby i didnt even want to do the castle.....so off i went however moving rooms resulted in me cracking my toe nail...same thing i do every summer it seems and so i had to find a bandaid(which of course i left at camp) and so off i went in my new pink flip flops bleeding all over the metro i stopped at the wrong stop and walked up the Champ D'Elyeese and found an open Pharmacie and of course had to buy a package of 40 bandaids....then i walked up to the ARC and saw that and then got on the metro and found the RER and took that almost got lost and then finally got on the right train to Versaille......I GOT THERE SO EXCITED bought a ticket and waited for the fountains i got to see all the fountains this time walked around for a good hour then i went back to Paris.....that whole thing took me Three hours of travel and an hour and ahalf at the actual gardens!
So when i got back it was Sunday night i figured everything would be closed.....but ohhh no Bastille was bumpin so out we went again....Cookie Blue and i went to a Cuban place...apparently i had the best Mojhito in town but i beg to differ....then we went to an Irish Pub...with real Irish owners and met Rabbit and Ishta
Then we Blue and I took a train back to Macon it was a night train 11:55 to 4:45am got back to her place where she used to be an assistant teacher and slept and wasted monday sleeping got some food and then met up with all the new counselors today and now we are back at AZE

Hahaha well it looks like the Flip-flop Dermatitis was almost true lol!
I was so excited to see you had updated your blog… made my day (at least till I am done work)
It sounds like you are having so much fun! Have I mentioned that I am jealous hahaha. I feel like office jobs are not meant for ADD people like myself. I say this but it’s really not so bad. My boss is away so I just really don’t have anything to do. Which is why I am trying to live through you… through your blog updates. I would also like to mention that all these peoples random names keep confusing the hell out of me.
It kinda sucks that you didn’t get to change sites but at least you are in a nice spot. Well the pictures look nice but I may have been on to something with these frogs you know.
So it is semi-official I will be moving to London in September (unless I change my mind about what school I want to go to for the gazillionth time) but probably not. I think that even if leeds might be a bit better, I would be happier living in London.
So when I live in England maybe I can have crazy Parisian adventures too hahaha!
As for lychee … I think I may have rubbed off on you a bit… now if only you would eat the brown pickle hahahahaha
Laura
hey look i realized that i don't have to be anonymous. oh man i am having one of those blond moments again
pictures where are the pictures??!!!
SOOOO many comments. I will boil it down to this:
Have I not told you how it is my lifelong mission to one day go to Senegal??? Seriously.
Also, how much do I love that you went back to Versailles just for the fountains? hahaha. Did you meet any Canadian professors on the RER this time?
And finally, I adore the Paris metro more than words can express. It literally makes it impossible to get lost, because you can always find a metro stop and work your way back. Why can't North America figure this out?
I miss Paris.
The end.
Thats one crazy weekend! and you wondered paris by yourself! your crazy! but at least u bought some nice shit hahaha
