YFU: Paris


So we left Belgium after 9am and drove to Paris on a privite bus. It was about 3 hours long of a drive. We first visited the Louvre.
Danny and Cristina



Sacre-Coeur at night


The Conciergerie which is a museum of Weird Art *This house made out of feathers with books in it, a big, white fabric bag with living flies in it)


Part of the building


Saint Chapelle





The Pantheon

We went to the Palais of Luxembourg and the Sorbonne after that and then a boat tour at night down the river.



The Opera Hall


Inside the hall(without flash)


A ball room

My friends! Hunter(Canada), Cristina(Romania) and Ishtar from Australia

 



The Phantom of the Opera's box seat


Arch of Triumph (We had to walk up thousands of stairs to get to the top!)

The Champs Elysees


Abercrombie & Fitch in Paris is so big and fancy(not to mention expensive). There was a long line to enter and there was hugh black gates which you had to walk through and down a long path with fancy bushes to enter. 4 floors of black shiny floors with loud music playing, the scent of A & F and people hired to dance in A & F clothes in place! It is so different, and the clothes come in so bright colours.



Chateau de Versailles


On the second floor of the eiffel tower


We took the stairs down from the second floor!


The Auberge 8 girls in a room

The hostel was nicer than the place in Liege!
 I had so much fun with all the YFU members and will always remember the crazy times and jokes we had together in Paris. Oh and I <3 Louis Vuitton!!! Paris is such a great place!

A show on ice...

This is a shop in Brussels on the way to the show.
So Victoria and I went to Disney on ice last Friday night.(TGIF)lol . So anyways I went with her because Veronique got free tickets and she needed someone to go with. (Adrien is still skiing in Italy with a School group) I haven't been to Disney on Ice since I was 5 with my cousins. It was a childhood memory re-lived. Victoria wanted Cotton candy so I bought her some. We got a bag and the pink flower hat she has on her head came with it. All those things are so expensive at the show! I paid 9 euros for it, but it was a treat cause I haven't had cotton candy in a long time.
 There was Mickey, Minnie, Goofy and Donald, Cars, The little mermaid, Tinker bell and friends, and Toy Story 3. Well anyways, to all who are reading this Happy Valentines Day!
PS: I will have a lot more pictures next week because I'm going to Paris for a week with YFU!

Snow at last

After walking home from school I took this picture of Victoria wearing her new fasionable hat! lol It's a bag for dog crap. No one really uses them here for the right purpose.

Wow it finally snowed in Belgium and has been very cold this week!
