AMSTERDAM

Hey everybody!!
So tomorrow I am going to Amsterdam for about 4 days and when I return I will be posting plenty of good stuff from the time between my visit to Marines and Amsterdam. Quite a lot of stuff, actually!!

The Village of Marines

My friends and I went to Sebastian's house just outside of Paris.

We helped tend to his compost pile. Hey! We wanted the authentic French countryside experience...

Just before dinner with Sebastian and his grandfather...

Sebastian's house in Marines.

Oh you know...just a chateau along the way from Paris to Marines.

The wave during the soccer game!

Claire, Sarah, and I during the game.

France vs. Austria: World Cup Soccer!!

getting ready for the game!!

a crazy guy ran out on the field...security!!!!!!

HOOK 'EM!!!

STADE DE FRANCE! By the way...France won 3-1. ALLEZ LES BLEUS!!

After the Seine!

After the Seine we all went to my friends Sarah's...

More friends showed up!!

How we all fit..I don't know...

MY B-day on the Seine!!

The gang.

You must enjoy a birthday cigar, eh?

Le Bateaux Mouche...the boats passed as the night went on...

It was a booze + picnic = super fun!!

I turned 21...and I spent it along the Seine.

NUIT BLANCHE and Sarahs b-day

Nuit Blanche is an all night party that all of Paris partakes in. It just so happened to be Sarah's birthday the exact same night!! So we started partying around 4 pm on Oct 2nd and finished around 7am on the third. It was a blast but very tiring. Kenzie and someone...making shadows on one of the art exhibitions set up for Nuit Blanche.

Vicki and I in the Luxembourg Garden where they were having a huge light show.

Hanging out before Nuit Blanche getting toasted.

Tour of Stade Roland Garros!!

Roger Federer's locker during the French Open.

On center court at Roland Garros.

Giving my press conference after winning the French Open...hey, I can dream...

Electricity Party and Le Smile

Sarah had a dinner party celebrating the fact that after three weeks in Paris...she finally had electricity!!

Le Smile = really cheap bar...or at least cheap for Paris.

Cafe Universel: La Chanteuse!!

This is a small jazz club near the Luxembourg Gardens that my friend Vicki (the blonde one) sings at every monday. This was her first time performing at this club so she was really nervous, but her performance was fantastic regardless.

PS: it was extremely hot in the club...

PROMISES!!

Okay...I've been really busy with getting registered in school...so the blog has fallen by the wayside a wee bit. I'm going to do an overhaul this weekend. So get ready...
