So the first week is coming to a close and it has been quite the adventure.
Lots of crepes and cidre....maybe a little more cidre than crepes!
We went as a group to see Paris, je t'aime....which is wonderful....a little strange but great....and we got crepes with everyone at a place with the STRANGEST bathroom ever. it was like a rave. black lights and strobed colored lights --> mine and "franprix" reaction
We have hit a few bars this week....one which was less than impressive....a mouse on the wall, fake breasts, thongs hanging from the ceiling and penis lollipops....needless to say we had five minuets left of happy hour so we had no choice but do stop there for drinks....happy hour here runs till 10pm....how sweet is that?
After movies, crepes/cidre, and sketchy bar Anna and i went totally classy and went to a very classy bar in the bastille area...we had "mojitos in love"...really they were heaven in a glass (mint, lime, strawberries!!! YUM!)....after spending a sufficient amount of euros on our one mojito we joined some of the other students for a night of dancing at Barrio Latino.....it was a good time and im looking forward to many more nights of dancing in Paris!
Last night was the kickoff of the Rugby World Cup which is being held in france and it was craziness....we went to try and watch the game on what we thought would be giant screens but turned into plasmas in a tent?? anyway we spent the evening on the champ de mars (the grass area infront of the eiffel tower) and listened to the game on the radio.
Today was Versailles. It is the most amazing place I think I have been in my life. The palace is wonderful and enormous beyond anything you can even understand. However, the gardens are better than everything in the chateau. There are so many beautiful gardens and fountains all across the grounds and it is breathtaking. You can visit my webshots but no photo will ever do it justice. Everyone should see versailles.
Tomorrow is an adventure to the Louvre (free the first sunday of the month!) and maybe Notre Dame then a night of partying at Johnny Depp's nightclub "Man Ray" for birthday celebrations!
i love with everything-ly yours,

If you see Johnny Depp, send him home to your Aunt Donnie. I've been in love with him since he was born.
