My fall break was this past week and my mom came to visit me. I think that my mom and I travel well together. The problem is that my mom likes to do about 50,000 things in one day. But, this was good, because she wasn't here in Paris for that long, only about a week, and three of those days were spent in London. She arrived last Friday and we immediatley set off, seeing the Louvre, Tuileries, Notre Dame, St. Chappelle, Eiffel Tower, and a Seine River Cruise. We also spent time just walking around Paris, enjoying the architecture, which is my favorite way of passing time in Paris. Then, on Sunday, we set off for London via the Eurostar. It was amazing. We had first class tickets and all I can say is...WOW. If you ever get the chance to take the Eurostar first class, don't hesitate. It was unbelievable food, service, and comfort. We arrived in London in the morning and set off to do Kensington Palace, Harrod's and the London Eye. The next day we did the Houses of Parliament, Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, Westminster and we took the train out to Windsor Castle. I have been in London before, but I had never been to Windsor Castle. It was really outstanding. We returned to Paris and the last day she was here we went to Versailles and strolled around my neighborhood. Even though Mom only got to be here about a week, I think she really enjoyed herself. I don't think there is one tourist thing in Paris or London that she missed. It was go-go-go!!! I still have three days left of my fall break and I am spending those days sleeping and working on my architecture and French projects. I will be over here until May, so if anyone who reads this blog wants to visit or will be here, please let me know! I love to see people from America! Friday, November 2, 2007
