Today is my last day in France, and as such, it was not entirely eventful. My other uncle had left and my aunt was at work, leaving things to my uncle and my father and me. In the morning, we went to the store to buy things to bring back home with us. We bought [...]

France trip, day 10

I spent the first half of today with family. My father had bought a digital camera for Remy, and after he gave it to him, we spent some time trying to get it to work. So it happens, there was no memory card included, so my father will probably have to buy one in the [...]

My days of doing nothing are spent in much contemplation. Perhaps I am wasting a bit of time here not going out, but sometimes not doing much can be a very good thing. I suppose I can’t expect to go into the city every day, and today is one of those days where it is [...]

Wow, I can’t believe I’ve been here more than a week now. It’s crazy to think how quickly things have gone. It feels like I’ve only been here a day or so. Anyway, yesterday was largely uneventful. We were supposed to go to somebody’s house outside of Paris and spend the day there (family? friends? [...]

Today was occupied primarily with a trip to the Musée du Louvre. Father woke me up at 8am, and we caught the 9:30 train. It’s about an hour long commute, though it’s never too crowded until rush hour, and the stop was familiar since we had just been there the previous day. The museum was [...]

I can only be brief about the occurances of today since my father is waiting on the compter. So, for now, I will say that uncle, father, and I went back to Paris, to the commericial district first to buy a couple of gifts and to have lunch, then to the area surrounding the Louvre. [...]

Today, my father went with my uncle and me to Paris! It was exciting since I know that he has since been more interested in spending time with friends and catching up. But he has decided that it would be good also to see some of the city, and it has made me exceedingly happy [...]

Guess what?? Today, I went to Paris! I was worried; I woke up quite late since I had gone to bed at 4am local time (I did some reading after father and I got home), and upon seeing the family, I found out that my father was planning to leave again to spend time with [...]

Today, I spent a lot of the day speaking to the French… in English! The family and I ended up going to visit some more relatives. The uncle who is staying here for a couple of weeks have children who live in Paris. I was finally able to meet two of my cousins and their [...]

I’m still getting adjusted to the time difference. Today, I didn’t do too badly. I woke up at 8am then went back to bed to wake up later at 10. For some reason, I’ve had a slight headache today and yesterday evening, and I’m not quite sure if that’s due to adjusting to the time [...]
