European Vacation: Little bit of London/Mostly Paris Day 4
In case you missed it: [ Days One and Two] [ Day Three Part One (A and B)] [ Day Three Part Two] (The DAY THREE PART TWO NEEDS MORE LOVE, GUYS!)
August 7, 2008 | DAY 4
Remnants of tea from the night before...WE MASSACRED IT.
Mom packing up some last minute stuff for Gay Paris!
Oh, hi! 8]
In the cab on our way to the other hotel we were going to stay at in London after we get back from Paris. We left a couple suit cases there.
Okay, now this Arctic Monkeys song makes SO MUCH MORE SENSE. I was so unreasonably giddy when I saw this :3
MOAR SHERLOCK!
I think that says, "Please Mum".
We ate at a cozy little cafe/diner place down the road. It was really cozy, had good English breakfast food (YEAH, SRSLY), and the folks were nice. Oh, and the lattes were good too. I approved. We planned on going there again but we had no time. Maybe next time I'm in London.
Om nom nom.
Those were some fucking good mushrooms and trust me, I know good mushrooms. Sauteed mushrooms are like, one of my specialties (so I'd like to think) next to salmon and pesto.
Srs bsns :|
OH HAY :D
Me again. Duh.
FAAAAASTFORWARD We ended up at some train station, iirc, close to Kings Cross Station. Waited, waited, waited, I got a French book of basic phrases just to refresh, waited, waited waited, FINALLY GOT ON THE TRAIN after struggling with luggage and shit.
COUNTRYSIDE! Which was nice to look at when my ears weren't dying from pressure through the tunnels!
Fun story! My mom and I were across from these girls who attended a university outside of Paris. They were from Cameroon I think! Or the Congo...but I'm leaning towards Cameroon. They were REALLY nice and we talked the whole time. I got to practice my French on them and they got to practice their English so it all worked out! I have on of the girls email addresses and I need to add her on facebook or something! :O
WELCOME TO PARIS WHERE DA PLAYAZ PLAY AND WE EAT DEM CREPES LIKE EVERY DAY...Har har
:D!
Mom looks fab. I look...sub par. Story of my life (okay not really but whatever).
Sideways train/platform is sideways.
So we go through another depressing money exchange process and go outside and it's raining. Fabulous. We ended up getting a ride from some dude who was pretty legit but probably not certified. Oh well, it was cheaper and we didn't get hacked to pieces so it's all good. I tried speaking to him a bit in French but he didn't understand me much :| Er...
ANYWAY, PICTURE TIME THROUGH THE WINDOW!
NOTRE DAME!
IDK if this was really the headquarters for the socialist party in Paris or if it was like a cafe tbh XP
Haha, the TV at the new Marriott we stayed in. Now some views from our window. It was GORGEOUS!
GAY PARIS WITH A RAINBOW. HAR HAR HAR. I C WUT U DID THAR, UNIVERSE.
Ha, my mom must have taken this photo after my nap. I'm surprised she managed to do it, honestly.
Some French movie. IDK, like all French comedies it was full of second hand embarrassment but brought on lulz even though I understood very little.
MOM WITH ~*~CRÈME BRÛLÉE~*~ AT DIN DIN!
Sup, Evian.
We took a short walk down the street. Short because it was sorta late.
Ooer :S
Double ooer :S :S
I think mom was talking to dad at this point. 9 hour time difference FTL.
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THAT IS ALL FOR DAY 4! I'll have Day 5 up ASAP! AND OMG TOMORROW I'M HANGING OUT WITH GRACE_ISTHEWORD! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARG!
Oh and I'll reply to comments too >_>
