Paris is a blast!!!!! I went to sleep at 4:00 AM last night and woke up at 12:00 in the after noon! So far I have seen 119 SMART CARS and 8 ANTIQUE CARS just today...WOW!!!!!!! I basically walk or take the METRO everywhere. Last night we walked from the 6th ARRONDISEMENT to the 16th ARRONDISEMENT we almost walked back but we were too tired to walk all the way back to the 3rd, where our apartment is. Our apartment is very trendy and has 2 bedrooms but I barely use them because it's so hard with the time change. I went to Pizza Pino (barf!) for dinner last night(double barf!). Today we only could find CROISSANTS at Monoprix-pronounced mo-no-pree(which is like the french version on Target) which were gross. Then we went on a carousel...VERY FUN!!!!!! Then to the LOUVRE which was giant! I probably couldn't find my room if I lived there. We went to Angelina's and had the most amazing hot chocolate and pasteries. after that we spent 20 minutes at the Luxembourg Gardens before it closed than took the metro(s) right on home! Tonight we at Polidor and I actually ate 4 escargot(snails) and they actually tasted suprisingly good. I had sour cream and apple pie for dessert which was also suprisingly good!!! Now off to bed!
Au Revoir!
Activities: Roaming the streets all day

Good brother fact of the day: Does funny dances to crack me up; wiggles his butt in the Metro stop and yells, "HOW DO YOU LIKE DEM APPLES!!!!!!!!" then repeatedly slaps his butt
VOCABULARY:
Smart Cars- a tiny little 2 person french car
