London Day 5 & Paris Day 15!!

Yesterday Sami and I (Emily) got up early and went with Delanie to take Hudson to school. After we dropped him off the three of us went to a yummy bakery for breakfast. It was somewhat upleasent because the waitress spilt steamed milk all over Sami! She was carrying her tea and milk over on the same saucer and when she placed it on the table the milk tottered over and spilt everywhere. Even thought Sami's pants smelt like soiled milk, she did get a free pastery and it was delicious! Then Delanie took us to her yoga class. Her yoga teacher, Tori, was very nice and helpful. We enjoyed the class and her Brittish voice was very calming. Sami and I are now a little sore, but we bent in ways we had no clue we could. The class was very relaxing and it was a good warm up for us before we take one of Robert's classes. Then Sami and I went off to the London Eye. The lines weren't too bad and the tickets were reasonable. The ride around is half an hour. The carrage holds up to 25 people, but there were probably only 20 in ours. The entire ferris wheel weighs over 2,000 tons! The panaromic view was incredible and we could see all of London. We stopped by the gift shop and then headed off to find a cafe or restaurant that had high tea, scones with jam and clotted cream and tea. Our search was very difficult and we got some interesting looks. People didn't seem to know what high tea was and we were starting to lose hope of finding somewhere that had it. Finally we found a restaurant that did and the search was well worth it. It was delicious! We had warm scones with a raspberry jam and clotted cream, thick buttered whip cream. Along with that we had English breakfast tea. We were happy to have gotten the true Brittish experience of high tea :) We were in a bit of a rush to get back to Delanie's because she had called a car to pick us up at 4 to take us to the train station and it was already 3:15. We made it back with time to spare and said goodbye and thank you to her and the boys. We were sad to leave London, but excited to be back in Paris. We didn't get to our apartment until a little after 9 and spent the rest of the night unpacking and doing laundry. Our apartment really feels like our home now :) Today Sami and I slept in until 11! We had a very lazy and relaxing day. We helped Robert clean out his apartment because he has people renting it. It was very funny because he stuffed his kitchen full of all his belongings, stuffing books and bathroom things in the washing machine and oven. He is staying on the day bed in our apartment until we leave for Normandy. We are now leaving for Normandy on Friday because it's the same price to rent the car for 3 days as 2. Sami and I are going to head out to a cafe in just a few to get a cup of tea :) Pictures to come very soon! Tomorrow we hope to accomplish some things that are on our list. We miss and love you all!

Sami and Emily :)
