This is the second time i'm posting this, because i accidentally closed the window.
Today is a rest day - it's so wonderful, my aching bdy is tingling from the fact that it can sit. First of all, i got a half-hour sleep in the morning (to be woken by the wonderful, bird like sounds of an's "nic! nic!" outside my door... ha ha.. love ya). Then we had a lecture - but instead of traipsing through paris, standing on our feet and walking all morning, it was in beautiful, soft, comfy chairs. I seriously would have stayed in them forever. The lecture finished at 10.30 am, so now we have free time until midday, and then we have a lecture in paris in the afternoon by someone who is not sylvia! After than, we're planning on going to the latin quartier - an said she saw really good boots there yesterday when i went to the Louvre, and i really need some good boots - i don't have any, always borrowing from mum and bess, though i won't buy any unless they are perfect. If i get them, i'll just throw all of the rest of my shoes here out when i need to pack for the plane - they're getting pretty wrecked.
I'm going to take this chance to reply to some comments.
Aunty J:
thanks aunty J! i'm glad your kids can benefit from the photos... we
spent a lot of time talking about the different sculptors who made the
decorations, which is probably useless to the kids, but it was
absolutely amazing. All the pictures in the world cannot compare to the
real thing - i'm finding that more and more, every time we go somewhere
magnificent my photos can never capture even a fraction of that
wonderful-ness :P
is gus enjoying himself? exchange is such a
different experience to a holiday... i'm sure he'll come back speaking
fluent german! xx
Dad:
I'm presuming that i will receive photos, maybe even a mini-video (please!) of jed soon, so thank yoU! I hope he's not being too much of a naughty boy... i imagine him harassing the dogs is his adolescent naughtiness kicking in. I love him so much... i miss him so. Please don't spoil him - otherwise mummy will be the bad one denying him things when he gets back. Try not to get him too fat.
My love to all.
