Oh well
Cecilia and Jano left.
Friday was the best day at Villefranche Sur Mer, where Ceci swam and Janito asked to get into the water. We had dinner at a very nice restaurant; and get ready to go back home at around 9 pm. At that time we realized that the last bus home had left one hour earlier, and our only choice was to walk for one hour to get back home! Fortunately Jano was happy on his stroller, and the town was pretty safe, and luckyly, cecilia is more oriented than I am and we arrived to the apartment with no maps, just following the ocean and the light houses!
We left at 630 the following morning, super exhausted. ceci's back packed was so big that both of us had to lift it! i have no idea how she carried it... We arrived at 1 pm at gare de lyon and literallly run so ceci and Jano could catch the B bus to Charles de Gaulle to get to Niall in ONE HOUR!!! I assume they made it... (THEY DIDN'T! as i found out later...)
And I am here at Paris, with much more time
for myself to write longer blogs ....
The first day I went walking to the Marais with no purpose and had a glass of wine somewhere on my way. When asking for the bill, the waiter understood that I wanted a second glass of wine and literally fill it up with the rest of the bottle. I have never seen so much wine on a glass ever in my life. Anyway of course I couldn't drink it all, and came home and went to see the people dancing tango by the Sienne. There, I was intercepted by an Algerian guy who first wanted me to teach him tango, then getting a visa to the US through me! ji ji ji... a little scary at the end because he would follow me everywhere and i couldn't get rid of him in a polite way. I literally run and escaped. I have heard so many stories like this one, but i couldn't resist to practice my French...
Today I followed the lonely planet's walk around Montmartre directions and I enjoyed it immesely. I did the usual. I saw the Moulin Rouge, the windmills, the vineyard, the
Montmartre oldest house, and the beautiful Sacre Coeur. Tried to get to the "singles restaurant" and I was definitely underdressed for it, so i walked by it... Then went to the Marais Ramble again and passed by the Louvre and had a biere in my way.
Now I am going to see the movie THE FANTHOMS OF GOYA with Nathalie Portman and Javier Berdem at the Cinema des Cineastes at Place the Clichy very close to where I am staying. And then I will go home to sleep, no more nights out alone for the time being. And I am so tired, my feet cry for high heels and tango!
keep in touch, i will see all soon
Y bueno
Cecilia y Jano se fueron. SNIF.
El ultimo viernes juntos fue el mejor dia en Ville Franche Sur Mer, donde Ceci nado y Janito pidio banarse con ella. Cenamos en restaurant muy bonito con vista al mar y decidimos volver a eso de las 9 y media, una hora muy razonable poraue todavia hay luz del dia. Para nuestra consternacion, el ultimo colectivo se habia ido hacia una hora antes y no nos quedo otra que caminar por una hora y media para llegar a casa. Por suerte Jano estaba en el cochecito y la ciudad es bastante segura, por suerte Ceci es mas orientada que yo y llegamos al apartamento sin mapa simplemente siguiendo al oceano y a los faros de la zona!
Nos fuimos a las 6 y media de la manana siguiente super cansadas. La mochila de Ceci estaba tan pesada que teniamos aue moverla entre los dos. No se como pudo transportarla sola. LLegamos a la estacion de tren a la una y LITERALMENTE corrimos para que ceci y jan puedan llegar a tomar el avion con Niall en una hora .... me imagino que lo lograron... trodavia no tengo noticias de ellos. (LUEGO ME ENTERE DE QUE NO LO LOGRARON!!!)
Y ahora estoy aqui en Paris; con mucho mas tiempo sola para escribir mas...
Me estoy quedando en una habitacion de la casa de una amiga de una amiga en las afueras de Paris, la estoy pasando super!
Camine por los lugares de siempre
Fui interceptada por un Argelino que queria aprovecharse de mi estatus de 'norteamericana'
y
ahora me voy al cine, un beso a todos!
