Paris, je t'aime



So our plans to meet up with friends on the coast were thwarted when their car blew up outside of Bordeaux, prompting their swift return to Germany. They're both fine although the Peugot is not. We had already booked our train tickets by the time we heard the news, which was on the day we planned to leave with the over-night train. What to do? Well we were travelling over Paris anyways, so we decided to just stay there for a week. We did a lot of walking and had a great time.
On the way home we stopped by the villge for a few days and hung out with Marissa's family. After three nights we headed home. There's no place like home.

By the way, M&M, Jeff and Jane were absolutely blown away to think that you would remember them in the midst of your week in Paris with a postcard. Your thoughtfulness really touched them.

Did you see Matthew on that one picture in front of Sacre Coeur? He looks so hot, even after not sleeping for two nights. How does he do that? He won't tell me his beauty secret. Maybe it's just in the family?
