Last day in Paris... kinda. We have like a few hours tomorrow, I suppose.

SO today was pretty wonderful. I gotta make this quick cause I only have, like, 18 minutes before my Wi-Fi expires and I have to get a new ticket (it's free though, don't worry). :P
Okay, so we were supposed to meet downstairs at 9 AM. Well... I was exhausted, so I slept until 8:50 AM, so was, therefore, not downstairs until ten after. No biggie; so were others. Anyway, we were going to the Louvre. I mean, we went to the Louvre. It was cool I suppose. Not really. Mostly repetition of the art we've seen this past week anyway. It was cool to see the Mona Lisa and the Angel of Victory (or whatever it's called). We also got STARBUCKS! Woo! I had a Chai tea and a chocolate chip muffin! Yum!
After the Louvre, our group met the whole group at the park by the Eiffel and then we all wenty and bought food for a picnic and met back in the park again. SO cool! I didn't eat anything because I was still full from the Chai and muffin, but I took LOTS OF COOL PICTURES!

So... me and the "family" went to the Madeleine Cathedral (Maddie was named after) so that Madeline could take a picture in front of the Madeleine, reading Madeline while eating a madeline. :) Cool beans, huh? I love Maddie! It was adorable.
We also saw the Arche de Triumph*--spelling is likely not accurate. It was... large.
A lot of hottin' and hollerin' took place concerning Portugal in the World Cup... apparently a ton of Portuguese live in Paris. I got the raving on video. They drive and wave flags out there cars and shout... there was also a mob of fans, at one point, that took up the rode. :) Funny.
We went back to the Hostel, I got ready (no make up this morning with only 20 minutes as well as wet hair), so I tried to look pretty for dinner. Dinner was good. Oh, there's a music festival going on... random-tush bands were playing all throughout Paris. For dinner I enjoyed a blue cheese salad, a coffee (SO tiny!), and whipped cream (chantilly) crepes' for desert. YUM!
Oh and there were cute boys jump roping while by the fountain while we ate dinner. We were near the Pompedue (*spelling) building. After dinner we checked out a few bands (there were at least 2 Native American ones... it was neat) and then searched for a pub... on our search we found a gay bar. We were gonna go in there but the boys had the "uh-oh" feeling to extreme. We searched for a karaoke bar for at least 2 hours. Ooh and on the way we spotted a poodle; that was on our Paris check list! By the time we found the karaoke bar, it was closed. We ended up finding a crowded bar where a band was playing songs like "Fever" and "Knockin' on Heaven's Door"--IN ENGLISH! Crazy! American songs are always playing here in Paris. Even in stores. Brittney and I each got a pint of beer at the pub/bar. 1667 or something, is what it was called... on tap. I didn't think it would affect me, but it did a little. I can still feel it in my brain. We took the metro home and sang a little bit. It was great! I got home 45 minutes ago. Tomorrow we leave at 8 for London--packed and ready by 7:40. :) Better get some shut-eye. Love yaz. :P
