The rest of the weekend in Paris was better than I could explain in words...but I'll do the best that I can. On Friday night I talked Matt into fighting his jet-lag and hanging out so we went to the Latin District where all the young people hang out and we sat at one of hundreds of really cute restaraunts and ate some absolutely delicious pizza for dinner. Then we decided to head back to the hostel because there was a live band playing downstairs and they were having a party so we figured there would be a lot of people hanging out there. Turned out that the band was a little bit obnoxious and there were only about ten hippies dancing downstairs so we grabbed a drink upstairs at the bar and we sat outside by the canal for a bit before we met a couple other Americans and one Australian guy. We hung out at the hostel with them all night just getting to know eachother, laughing, talking...it was fun. Matt also made friends with a French guy there so they talked for quite a bit and every once in awhile I would practice the very little french that I know! On Saturday we ate breakfast at the hostel and then walked around all day looking around the city until dinner time when we met up with the French guys that Matt had met in San Fran. They brought some friends so there were seven french people and the three of us (me, Matt, and Katie who is also from Bellingham and teaching English in France) and we ate dinner at this Mongolian restaraunt. After dinner two of our new French friends, Kevin and Boris, wanted to take us out so we all went dancing. I had forgotten how rough, yet extremely fun, the European lifestyle is for people my age. You don't sleep!! A lot of the clubs don't even open until after mid-night! We were out until 4:30 am, it was great! The craziest part was that when we left, there were still people waiting to get in to the bar and there were so many people and cars on the street that you would think it was still the middle of the day! The Europeans love American music too and I thought it was pretty funny that they knew more of the words to the songs than I did! Sunday morning Matt and I woke up early and made our way to the Eiffel Tower (a must see when you visit Paris...I made him go with me!) I decided not to go with him to Le Mans because the Paris trip had already taken a huge toll on my bank account, so I helped him to the train station with all of his luggage and I headed back up here to Bruchmulbach! It was such an amazing trip and I will do anything to make it back to Paris soon...I could never spend too much time in that city!! Tomorrow is my first day watching Anthony and I will have him for 96 hours straight because Joe and Jess are both working 12 hour night shifts and having to sleep during the day! I'm really excited, we have a lot of fun activities planned :)
