FrAnCe WaS aWeSoMe!!!
Hey everyone!! Well, the title says it all. FrAnCe WaS aWeSoMe!!! Words can’t even describe all the fun we had.. In fact, im still unpacking all my souvenirs and clothes and things like that. A lot of interesting things happened, but they are so detailed, that I cant type them on here.. Lol.. Well, maybe a few…
------------------------------------
~when we first arrived in Paris, I met a girl named Katy (from Klein Oak) and she started hanging out with me, stef, and stacy! We soon became the FaB fOuR!!!
~at the Eiffel Tower, we met some Floridian guys and they sorta stalked us back to our hotel!!
~in the Chateau de Chambord, the FaB fOuR (Katy, Stef, me, and Stacy) went thru secret passageways and up winding dark staircases and it led us to a dungeon!!
~Amber (our tour-guide) was leading us to a Crĕperie and she was walking so fast that we lost her, so we were lost in Paris… for about 10 minutes
~our first bus driver, Patrick, was awesome!! Then, he had so leave us and we had to get another driver, Jerome. He was soooooooo stinky! It was gross!!
~since Jerome smelled so bad, we had to use lots of air conditioning. Since we used lots of A.C., our bus broke down on a French Highway
~I met a famous French Deaf Author and im buying his book whenever it comes out in America
~I learned some French phrases that I will include later on in the entry
~French people charged us for WATER!!!! (at a resteraunt where its supposed to be free)
~French do not understand the meaning of “well done” when cooking meat!
~a final conclusion: French guys are PeRvErTs!!!
