This has been a really good weekend; a lot of fun and really relaxing. On Saturday Sam, who's studying in Versailles came to town to hang out with me. He texted me in the morning telling me he was getting on the train and I was still in bed, so I hoped the train would be delayed or something. It wasn't. I was about to start peeling a banana when he texted me again telling me that he was at my metro stop. I really wanted to eat the banana but I knew I shouldn't leave him waiting there. So I met Sam at the metro and of course, it starts raining.
We had planned on just walking around Paris but that's really not that great to do in the rain so we ended up going to the Louvre. Sam needed a ticket so we stood in line. I joked around about how awesome I am because I never have to stand in line again because I have my fancy Louvre pass. However, he still needs a ticket that says he gets in for free. So we got to the counter and he told the guy that he was a student and the guy told him that he didn't need a ticket that he could just show the person who checks tickets his ID. I knew that was wrong because it never works that may. So we tried it anyways and of course the woman told him that he needed to go back and get a ticket. So we stood in line again and got the ticket. Sam has never seen the Venus de Milo so we went and saw that. Then we walked up the giant staircase to The Winged Victory of Samothrace. It's a pretty impressive statue. Google it. Anyways, after that we went this this Egyptian part that I'd never been to before and saw some pretty cool old stuff.
After the Louvre we walked down Rue de Rivoli into the 4th. I wanted to go to this cafe called Angelina's which I know is on that road, we just couldn't find it. Apparently they have amazing hot choloate and other delish things. I'll find it one day! So we ate at this other cafe instead. We were there for a really long time just talking and hanging out. Sam texted Chuck to see where he was in Paris because I guess he was there sketching for the day or something and he said he'd meet up with us. Turns out Chuck headed back to Versailles....JERK! Anyways, so Sam and I walked to Les Halles (we did a lot of walking) to see what time Invictus started because we both really wanted to see it. There was one that started at 5 but the tickets were 10.50 Euro each, so we both looked at each other and were like, let's do something else. We ended up at Starbucks (my second time this weekend.....) and we were there for like 2 hours. I think other customers were starting to get angry because we were taking up the table but I really could care less it's not like I was just sitting there to sit there.
It was still raining when we left Starbucks. We got onto the metro, which was packed of course because it was after 5. Sam got off at Saint-Michel so he could jump on the RER C to head back to Versailles. I had a lot of fun and I'm really glad he came. I hope me, Sam, and Chuck get to hang out more this semester. Renee went to bed really, really early that night so that was fun...not having anyone to talk to. I watched the first episode of Dexter....oh man, that show is a little intense and kinda weird! No wonder it's on Showtime. Anyways, my friend Nick recommended it and of course now I will become addicted to it just like every other show he's told me to watch. I don't even want to count how many shows I watch now, it's a little disgusting.
I'm meeting Katie for lunch tomorrow at school so we can talk about break. I really haven't looked anything up yet so I should probably do that sometime tonight while I'm not watching HIMYM or Dexter. Oh btw, I'm now on season 3 of HIMYM....ohhh the Bare Necessities just came on my itunes dj. Good song!
a bientot!
