Farewell to ol Paree

LAST WEEK IN PARIS!

Besides returning from Amsterdam and going to Versailles, there wasn't much going on except packing and getting ready to get back home.

Upon returning from Amsterdam I did become seriously addicted to a game called Panzer General. It is a game that was on floppy disk from 1993. My Uncle Blair actually had this game way back in the day when I lived in Missoula. It is incredibly addicting.

Between games I did manage to whip up a purdy awesome picnic for Jenny and I. I bought this roasted pepper pesto sauce, some bow tie pasta, avocado, tomato, some lettuce, and a little wine. I whipped up a little pasta and a salad with tomato and avocado. We had ate our little picnic in view of the Eiffel Tower. It was tasty and purdy cool to just chill in the grass.

The Wednesday of that week was Bastille Day. Bastille Day is like the 4th of July for France except not as cool of course. Bastille Day is in honor of the day the Paris citizens stormed Bastille Castle in Paris signaling the start of the French Revolution.

Thursday we went to Musee d'Orsay. This is the impressionist art museum. Impressionism is the same kind of art that Claude Monet used. Remember when I went to Giverny. We walked around admiring the art for a little while.

Friday after Jenny got off of work we headed to the Louvre. The Louvre used to be the French King's palace before Versailles. It is now the most famous museum in Europe. It is GIGANTIC!! It would take you all day to do the museum or you might not even be able to get through it all in one day. Jenny and I just went and saw the famous things including the Mona Lisa.

So in short we kept it going through the end of the week. We cleaned up all day on saturday and had a nice sit down meal and some beers on saturday night.

Sunday we struggled with our 5 bags to get to the airport. We struggled into a cab, struggled through the metro, and struggled through all of the terminals to get to our terminal. After struggling all morning the flights were actually purdy good. Jenny got off her flight and on to mine from Montreal to Chicago and the best part was that she got paid $100 to do it. Awesome.

We arrived in Chicago and were very glad to be back in the United States!!
