Exciting news! Tonight will be my last post!!!!! We are heading back to American on Saturday and we are all so excited. I have really enjoyed my time here in London but i cant wait to get home. A month is a lot longer than we all thought it was going to be. This experience has been an amazing one it will be something that i can look back on for the rest of my life. Thank you to everyone who has been reading my blog and sending emails. I cant wait to see everyone when I get back! I am going to Waco for a few days then will back in Amarillo next Thursday!
See you all soon!

Paris.....the city you get lost in.


Well over the week we got to go to Paris! Which was really exciting and a lot of fun the second day!! We left the hotel at 3:30 to catch the train and the chunnel. We decided to try and use a tour company so the plan was Monday we would go, check into the hotel and then have the day to spend doing whatever we would like... well it didn't really happen that way. After seeing the Eiffel Tower and visiting the Louvre we went to try and find our hotel to check in little did we know the address that the company gave us was completely wrong! Learning from my dad it of course did not take long until I was on the phone with the tour company asking to speak to the manager and for our money back. After an hour bus ride through the ghetto of Paris, two 30 euro cab rides and 4 hours later we finally made it to the hotel! (thanks for helping us Colony!)




















Day two was much better! We met up with the tour guide and spent the day sight seeing in Paris. We were able to see all the historical spots in the city. We also got to go up on the Eiffel tower, take a boat ride on the river Seine and to Notre Dame. The day ended up being much better!
