Blogging is very hard here! I mean, I guess it really isn’t, I have just been SO tired. We really are trying to accomplish everything. I have been in Paris for. . . 5 (almost 6) days and I feel like I already HAVE seen everything. Not even close. But we went to the Musee D’Orsay and it was cool. Not really my kind of art but very interesting, none the less.

On the bright side, I got to see Degas’ ballerinas, which made me think of my sisters!
We’ve also been to a few churches! I already mentioned Notre Dame, but we also went to Saint-Chapelle, a smaller church. The church was smaller but the detail was absurd. The whole upstairs had stained glass windows that told the story of the Bible. It was very beautiful. The only thing I could think about was the fact that somebody made that. Somebody stained all that glass. Somebody carved all those beams and statues. By hand. How?
Hi Lindsey!
I got to see Jim Morrison’s grave yesterday! It was so cool. The cemetery he is buried in, Pere LaChaise, is SO cool. I took so many pictures. I couldn’t believe how crowded it was (as in graves, not visitors). We wanted to see a few other famous Frenchies, like Oscar Wilde, but it started raining so we split. AND GOT ICE CREAM. The only truly great french food is dessert.
Incredible ice cream! If you're going to get rained out, at least make it worth it.
Don’t get too excited — the main staple of of diet is une baguette avec jambon et fromage, aka a ham sandwich. Cheap and easy, but more importantly, cheap.
Today we went to Versailles, an intense Castle owned by Louis XIV and his family before the French Revolution. Pretty much everything in France is beautiful but Versailles took the cake. Seriously. Like, golden gate in the front. Endless rooms and an even more endless garden. We spent almost 7 hours there and didn’t get to see everything. My favorite part was the garden, even though it rained. The flowers reminded me a lot of my parents — I miss home every much! I found a really cute mini flower pot-thing that I thought would be great for Mom’s office (even though she kills everything in her office, hahaha), but Judith assured me seeds would not make it through customs. 
I really want to find nice things for my family. I would hate to come all the way to Paris and bring them back some shitty keychain. Either way, I have some time and plan to do some (semi) serious shopping before I go back home!

More of the garden. My favorite place.
Pretty much my daily diet.
I think I’ve written enough for now. Homework time!
