This morning Emily and I (Sami) made french toast!!! It was soo delicious, we had 4 pieces each! Oh but before that a little before 6 this morning there were three girls sitting on the step in front of the building. They were talking so loud it woke us up. So I (Sami) got up and stuck my head out our window and said, "Hey girls, could you keep it down out there?" They were speaking english so we decided they must be with the American students upstairs. So they got quiet for about a minute, then their friends from upstairs came clomping down. They slammed the door shut and headed out. It was good they left then, because I was about to go yell at them! Robert helped us figuring out how to get to Ile de bois Vincent. In order to get there we had to take two new metro lines, we handled the transfer a lot better than we did on the way to the Eiffel Tower. Once we got there we found the pond and rented a row boat. So I rowed us around for a while and we soaked up some sun. Neither of got burn, maybe a little tan even :D Earlier today both Robert and Emily told me (Sami) that I looked tan, I do believe that is the first time anyone has told me I look tan! But the pond and and scenery was beautiful, there were tons of adults and children bearing the heat. We picked up some ice cream and headed back to the metro station. We had made three stops and a twenty minute walk from home when the train stopped at the station, we didn't understand what they were trying to tell us, but after waiting 10 minutes we got off the train to figure a way home ourselves. We wound ourselves to the Louvre and from there to the bus station. Once we got home we made ourselves lunch then headed up to Robert's. When we got up here we had a nice suprise, Stephane is back...with our dresses! So we tried them on! Emily's looks so pretty on her and very elegant! I tried on two, the first one he was just hoping it would fit, but I couldn't breathe very well :( But, he had another one ready for me! They both are amazing and we are sooo excited! We don't know what is going on tonight, but probably dinner :D We are planning on Montmarte tomorrow, hopefully it is a little cooler! We miss and love you all!

Tres Chic! You two look magnific! How exciting to have this opportunity. I can't wait to see all the pictures from the festival. You are going to be spoiled. Love Mom
ReplyDeleteAgreed .... Tres Chic!!! Emily, you look so tiny in that dress.... well, I guess you are. Sami....your dress shows off your tiny little waist. Are the dresses 2 piece? When you get fitted with your bonnets and shawls or little white collars with jewelry, you will look like you just stepped out of the 1700's..... The boat ride was such a good idea on a hot day. That's something I've never done. Good planning! Enjoy your remaining days. Love... Gramma Karen ~
