bonjour mes amis!
i don't have a lot of time because i'm about to head to the airport to go to MADRID for the weekend! i've never been to spain, and i'm sure my friend, willie, has a LOT planned for us! the metros are actually on strike today (typical france) BUT fortunately, my roommate, molly, is also headed to the airport, so we're sharing a cab service. it's also good that they're only going on strike for one day. PHEW.
this week was the famous fête de la musique! ALL over paris, a bunch of bands and musicians just set up shop and play their hearts out. the streets were packed! people were selling food and drinks on every corner. it was quite the celebration.
last night, we went on the bateaux-mouches, a river boat cruise. we sailed the seine river and saw all of the famous architecture and bridges in paris. it was very pretty.
on the boat! (that's the eiffel tower behind me. ha.)
this is the pont marie. if you raise your legs as you're passing under and make a wish, it's supposed to come true!**
getting some ice cream before the tour! nice, bridgette.
just a pic of the notre dame for you! beautiful!
some of bridgette's friends from school and i at the fête de la musique!i'm off! i will take PLENTY of pics in madrid, promise!
salut,
-molly
Thanks for the pictures. Can we do the river cruise when we're there?
ReplyDeleteTell those stupid metro workers to quit striking so I can see you!
