au revoir pari!

wow, what a crazy three days in paris! it has been amazing but i am ready to go to the country of my people, madrid, spain! this is going to be so much fun!

here is aimee

i feel that i have to input something. meg is great translating for us so we dont have to point at everything we need or want and i love how Rheanna starts to sing "im pround to be an american" when we find something we dont like. the weather here has been absolutely gorgeous
must hurry im running out of time but we love and miss you all
thank you for your comments

monday

our final day in paris! we decided to end paris with a trip to the louvre followed by lunch near the eiffel tower and then on to find france's copy of the statue of liberty. when we got back to our hostel we hit up the local pattiserie for a whopping load of treats followed by some really funny pictures. tomorrow we are off to madrid...we have a lovely 430 am bus to catch to get to the airport and we should be in madrid around noon. paris has been really great and we have all had a really awesome time here.
love to all

pour ma mere

hello again! lots done today-tracked down the church near the musee pompidou and attended sacrament service (in english, natch). it was really cool. then we took the metro out to chateau de vincennes to do some exploring. we then ventured into pere lachaise and found jim morrison and oscar wildes graves. the cemetary was absolutely amazing! it was so beuatiful! tonight we are going to the eiffel tower-now that our tummies are full from yummy pizza we will be able to handle the lines sans grumpiness! im working on getting some pics up here but there arent any outlets to do so...you may just have to wait until we are back. i will say that my garden gnome is quite photogenic and is loving paris...as are the gays in town for the big gay festival. we are all happy and healthy and even saying prayers together in the mornings. we have definitely felt your prayers and are grateful.
well im off to the patisserie to get some yummy treats and then its to la tour eiffel that we go. much love to you.

my feet hurt and rheanna is has blisters

today was a great day of pretty much traversing the entire city. we checked in to our next hostel and then we hit pretty much all of the main sites in the city...notre dame, eiffel tower, arc de triumph...we walked everywhere and me and rheanna were pretty tired...aimee was still going totally strong though. rheanna and i pretty much collapsed on our beds when we got to the hostel...did i mention that we had to haul our bags up 4 flights of stairs? oh yeah, good times. we went to a cafe tonight and had a pretty traditional meal all the while relaxing and watching people walk by. it was a great day.
love to all

wow

So after a very long journey we are finally here! Longest plane ride of my life, but it's already worth it. Tomorrow we start our real tourist stuff and I can't wait! My time on the computer is about up so this is a short one, Meg pretty much said it all. Love to everyone!

bonjour!!

hello to everyone following along! I'm writing from our hostel in Paris. after 25 hours of travel we finally made it here safe and sound with nary a hitch...except for the screaming child on the way from frankfurt to paris. i'm totally ready to take a shower and go to bed. this keyboard is kind of a pain so im afraid i won't be writing a lot today. i have about 5 minutes left on this thing so i'm going to see if i can sign into my email...it would seem that the french do not want me to be able to sign into my gmail :(
more to follow...tomorrow we are going to get out and explore! Je t'aime!

xoxo
