Happy 2007

Holy Cow!!! It has been forever since I have updated. I have been just a tad busy. Christmas here in Paris was absolutely amazing. There were lots of lights and decorations everywhere. I went to Christmas Eve Mass at Notre Dame and it was amazing. There were somewhere between 3,000-4,000 people, and this was for the family mass at 6 pm. The priest even invited all of the kids up to the altar for the Our Father. It was really cool. On Christmas Day, I had a 5 course dinner that lasted over 6 hours with my friend Tim and his family. His family was visiting from San Francisco, and they had rented an apartment. It was really cool and fun. We had cocktails, then gnocchi, then duck a l'orange, then salad, then a cheese plate, and finally a chocolate yule log cake for dessert. Each course was paired with a different wine. It was absolutely amazing. Then, I just enjoyed the holiday season by reading my new books and watching DVD's until Thursday when my friend Sarah and her friend Mary came back from Rome. On friday, two of Mary and Sarah's friends came in from the states. I hung out with them, we did lots of fun sightseeing and touristy stuff. We even celebrated New Year's at the Eiffel Tower. It was a once in a lifetime experience and so much fun. There were tons of people despite the possible forcast of rain. Sarah's friends were here for the rest of the week so I helped Sarah be the tour guide and we saw the essential things one must see in Paris. I am already into my second week back at school, but the semester is nearly over. I have the whole month of February off (the 1-25th). I will be in England the 5-15th, meeting my parent's on the 13th. We will then go to Paris until the 2oth, when Dad will leave for home, and Mom and I will continue on to visit friends in Germany, and then to Brussells and Bruges. I will update more later.
