Today is the last day for our program. Everyone is going home tomorrow; I'm just moving to the Ramada.
Yesterday, mom and Kay flew in. I surprised them and skipped class to meet them at the airport (well technically I went to the first 30 mins of my first class, so I mostly skipped). They were very tired but excited to be here. We got back into town and to their hotel.
Funny story: when lugging one of their suitcases about the metro, I tumbled down some stairs and ended up with my leg under it and my butt on top of it. Nice! After they settled in, I took them to lunch at a café on the other side of the Eiffel Tower from their hotel. Their hotel is less than 5 mins from the ET. They came and saw my hotel, then we split up: I to my hip-hop class and they to their hotel for a nap. Hip-hop class was a little funzy lead by Milton, our social coordinator who is a starting-up actor and back up dancer already viewable in Alexander and a Kylie Minogue video. It was really fun but confirmed the fact that I am the whitest person ever! Met back up with the ladies and found a cute place on the river for dinner. After we walked along the river, it was pretty. Then I introduced them to Gelati d'Alberto, and they loved it, of course.
Today - LAST DAY OF CLASS! It was so hard to be awake and attentive in class today. I pretty much wasn't. I took some pics of the school. Kayla and Mom spent the morning in the Louvre, and I met them nearby after class. We went to Angelina (the famous hot cocoa place) for lunch. It's a nice place. Then we went to Notre Dame to catch a guided tour. Fun stuff. It's a neat church. After that, I showed them some stuff in the Marais: Place de Bastille, Place des Vosges, and the Jewish Quarter. We stopped at the fallafel place preferred by Lenny Kravitz and had our first try. I liked it. I then sent them back to the Louvre while I went to my farewell wine and cheeser...or just cheeser for me. It was kind of bitter sweet.
Maybe more updates again...who knows. Love ya'll!
Daddy, don't miss your girls too bad.
