Monday July 18th
On Saturday, weeeeeeeeee WENT TO DISNEYLAND PARIS! It was very fun, except for the fact that it was pouring rain the whole day. We went on the Tower of Terror twice and the Rockin' Rollercoaster twice and got to sit in the front row! woohooooo! Then we couldnt find any diner, so that sucked, but then eventually we ate some really disgusting fast food that was not enjoyable. Then we left and came back to the hotel and went to sleep.
Then on Sunday, we had to wake up at 6:00 in the morning to leave at 6:45 to go the Louire Valley all day. There, we saw two humongous castles and we got to go on boat rides and bike rides.
Then toay, which is Monday, we slept in and then Emily went to classses by herself because Mikaela felt sick. Emily had to take 2 metros all alone in Paris which was very scary becuase she didnt know where she was going, so thats not going to happen again.
And later we are going to dinner and then going to bed. Talk to ya soon!!

Wednesday Thursday Friday
WEDNESDAY:
We woke up at 9:30 and were out the door at 10:00 to go shopping at the world famous Champs-Elysees, and it was a lot of fun but very expensive. There are loads of massive designer stores like Louis Vitton and Valentino, which is cool because Paris is the fashion capital of the world. Anyways Emily and I bought crazy beautiful shoes that you could only buy in France! Woohoo, and after classes and dinner that day we went to the FIREMEN'S BALL!!! It was very exciting and fun, and we danced the night away, but were very tired by the end of it.
THURSDAY:
We were rudely awaken by our psycho roomate at 7:30 , got ready and left at 8:15 for the huge parade for BASTILLE DAY!! ooooohhh yeeaahhhhh, so basically the parade is very intense because if you want to watch you have to enter through the gate, and there are different sections where you can get in to watch but you get your bag checked and a body scan, and we stood behind some people watching for like a half an hour and then we saw a giant Haagen Daz's and decided to go in a get strawberry smoothies and crossiants, which were amazing. Then we walked around more and went shopping a little on Champs Elysees. Then we got really tired and went back to the hotel to take a nap, and I couldn't really sleep because our roomates were very loud but Emily slept for like 3 hours. Then we went out to dinner at the Chinese restaurant which was kinda gross, but thats okay. That night we went to the fireworks and the Eiffle tower which was amazing, but very very crowded. We came home very late around 1:30.
FRIDAY:
Today we slept in until 12 and had to make a wonderful drawing of the Eiffel tower and the Metro using our Sanguin, our art teacher loves us because we are her best students, lol jk . And after classes we went to the tourist stores and bought Shane and Maeve their presents , and now were are finishing the blog and going to dinner,
GOODBYE(:

Since our last post..
We have taken our classes, which we dropped out of fashion so now its just photography and drawing.
On saturday we slept in and that night we went to a carnival and went on some rides and went bungee jumping.. it was AWESOME, and we have a video so we'll show you when we get home. On Sunday, we took a day trip the the Palace of Versailles! I was sooo big and we took lots of pretty pictures of the flowers in the gardens and sat by the water .. we tried to go on a row boat but you had to be 18 and then we tried to rent bikes but you needed an ID, which we didn't have ): so that was sad but we had a good dinner and had the best pesto we have ever tasted and when we got back we went to Aquaboulevard and got Haggen Daz icecream and that was delicious! sooo then on Monday we were supposed to go on a Hot air balloon, but that got cancelled and we don't know why,, what a bummer. Soo we took a long nap and went to our classes, pretty fun stuff, and that night after dinner we went on a boat tour of Paris which was quite lovely/boring. Today we slept in again, as you can tell we are very tired people and we don't know why, but before we went to our classes ,while we were getting ready, the fire alarm went off , may i say while emily was cooking eggs on the stove, and then we heard several loud screams down the hall and thought there was a fire on our floor so Mikaela led us down the stairs all the way to the lobby to find out it was a test and everyone except us knew that ,, so everyone was staring because we ran out terrified. And yeah soo after that we went to classes and got Subway for lunch, very expensive by the way and we took the Metro home and now we are in our room Soo talk to you l@ter byeeee!

Friday July 8th
Dear Friends,
On Friday, Yesterday, we did mannnnny things so we got back very late and were too tired to write, so we are writing now and we skipped the excursion to some weird place and we are resting and going shopping! So anyways, yesterday, thankgoodness, our alarm went off and we were out the door at 9:30ish and we went downstairs to eat breakfast in the lobby, which wasn't what we expected because our breakfast consisted of chocolate crossiants and cereal with very warm milk. (no pancakes, french toast or waffles ): So then we began our first excursion to the loivre museum it was gnormus and amazing. We saw the Mona Lisa! But it turned out to be a smaller painting then expected and it was hard to get a picture of it because there was a big crowd of aggressive people around it. Fun Fact: If you looked at every picture or statue in the musuem even for only 30 seconds you couldn't see all of them in a lifetime! Wooooaaah... After that we went to lunch at the cafe with our new friends Kayla Nayla and Jamie, and I got a famous sandwich that they make in France..forgot the name sorry ...it was ham and cheese though.. anyways after that we had out first day of classes first was photography, which was fun then drawing, also fun, then fashion, which we just dropped out of so we could have more time to rest and because we didn't think we would enjoy it it seemed complicated and the teacher was pretty legit. so then after a long a tiredsome journey getting lost and walking miles and emily's hunger and anger attack .. we finaly found the restaurant and ate pasta and oizza which was pretty good . Later we came back to the room for an our and at 10 we went for a bus tour around the city of Paris and saw it all lit up.. it was *@w3$0m3* .. then we finally arrived back at the hotel at 12:45 ish and quickly went to bed.
Today we woke up at 11:30 and went food shopping, emily is currently in the shower taking F0Rever as usually and im starving so maybe we will blog again tonight.. but until then
bonjour! (=

1st Day In Paris
After 3,790 miles, we arrived in Paris this morning, and we are still very tired. We had orientation for a million hours, but got to go to lunch in between, where we had our first crossiant and water for about $5. After that, we went to our rooms where we met our 2 roommates, Kayla and Nayla. And then there's Mikaela so thats confusing. After we showered, we took a quick nap and took a short tour and then went to dinner, where we were assigned to go. We ended up going to a Chinese restuarant where we tried nougats for the first time. (they were gross). Then we went to the grocery store where we bought some things, and Emily tried to be French but the guy knew she was American and pronounced "thank you" like she was a dumb child. And now we're in our beds. Goodnight..!
