I am having an affair... With my English- French Dictionary.

Hey lovers. Bonjour from France!
Miss you!
Okay happenings here..
Okay so, on saturday we had a free day for our last day in Paris. Me and my hotel mates were tired of museums and site seeing so we just took it easy and went shopping. Good day, but it gets better. We wanted to see Paris at night, so we had this plan to go to the top of the Arc De Triomphe.. Thinking that we knew the metro system by then we hopped on headed towards "The Grande Arch" Seems right.. Yeah no we were dead wrong. 10 stops and 45 minutes later we are off the metro and on the border of Paris. Right on the outskirts..  OOps. we tried not to panic when our tickets weren't working and we couldn't read how to buy the right ticket. Then some random gate was just open so we snuck through... Went to get on and came to another road block when we here a beep and a lady say "vite! vite!" She was holding the door for us. What a gem. So we get on the RER line and luckily we only had one stop so we got off and once again.. Our tickets didn't work... Then another kind Parisian man helped us as we jumped over the spinny bars and ran before we got caught. BLAH some kind angelic soul was watching over us that night. Seriously though.

Then sunday, my little birthday (May 29) we got up way to early to make it to the train station for our 4 hour trip to Annecy. The scenery was breathtaking but the benadryl would let me keep my eyes open. It was surprisingly an okay train ride, after I got over being the minority in a train full of Koreans. I tried to not be rude about the fact that they all smelled like beef jerky cause I am sure they are way nice... There were 2 girls that were sitting across from me and my friend Kaitlyn. They re-did their make-up at least 5 times.. and it didn't seem like it even made a difference.. It's fine though. As the train ride came to an end we got out at the train station to meet our families. I am living with one single lady named Danie. She took me around town and showed me where things were. Let me just say French people are maniacs behind the steering wheel. I know I will get hit by a car while crossing the street. I just know it. Anyway I went home to my new little house and ate some food, then took a nap. After we walked around Lac d'Annecy translation Lake Annecy. It is SO beautiful! The water is like turquoise and the weather has been amazing. It really is just the cutest town ever. I haven't taken pictures yet since I keep forgetting my camera.. Lame huh.. Who does that? Anyway I will post pictures soon so you can experience how quaint this place is. You'll love it.

School started today and my teacher is teaching us French... In French.. So that's contradictory. I hope it means I will learn fast and be fluent by the end of the month. Baha dream big Sam.

I know we all just want to see pictures.. So here goes. Guys I love France, it has been kinda rough and I have blisters and whatever but it's fine.
okay well my computer wont upload. I will try later. k loves
