Once we decided to get outta bed and get going this morning..well close to afternoon...we got ready and headed out to school to use some good internet. We needed to decide which train pass we were going to get and order it...we don't trust our internet to let us order stuff cause it kicks us off all the time. We decided the best pass for us to get was the 1 month global pass. This allows us to travel by train for one month at the price of the card. It will start when we go to Disneyland Paris and last untill we get back from our week off we will be spending in the South of France and Italy. Every Wednesday...since we dont have class...and Friday, Saturday, & Sunday of October we will be traveling with our pass to make it worth the money we spent on it. The only trip we will have to pay for it when we go to London for the Gymnastics World Championships...the train passes don't work to England for some reason (the passes if you are European do...but not the other ones). We will definetely make it worth the money we spent though...and we will get in all the traveling we want to do. One weekend we plan to travel to 2 countries...Spain, Switzerland, or Ireland...and the Wednesday before or after will get the other country. We want to take a train back to the place we spent last Sunday one Wednesday to lay on the beach and do homework and read. We also plan to go into Paris one Wednesday and try to just site see and maybe get in a little shopping with what little money we have left after buying our passes. Our plan is to sleep on the trains so that we dont have to pay for hostels or stress our parents out by staying there. We are real excited to get all of our travel done before school gets harder before finals.
We have joked this whole time about how we want to decorate our apartment for Halloween, Thanksgiving, & Christmas. We have looked for construstion paper and haven't been able to find any. We thought maybe Office Depot would have some and thought about going there after we got done at school today but we weren't quite sure which bus took us there. We decided to come home and check it out and we are going to try to go there sometime tomorrow. I also looked on their website and didn't really find any construction paper but I did find some colored paper that I think we can make work and it's not very expensive which is important.
I watched Friends in French all afternoon...I think i'm learning something becuase I could reciete every episode pretty much. We took our towels down t get fresh ones today at the front desk. We also investigated the laundry room...we don't quite get it...we are waiting till the really good English speaking lady is working so we can ask her about it. We had another microwave spaghetti for dinner with a little baguette. We can't believe how good that stuff is...much less that it feeds both of us and it's cheap which is nice. We had a glass of wine after dinner to make us feel better about how much we spent on our train passes today. The cheap wine we bought at the grocery store was good!!
We are planning to work on some homework tomorrow, to go to Office Depot, and to stop at the grocery store for a baguette becuase they are closed on Sundays. We plan on pretty much just having a lazy weekend!!
would you like for me to send you some of my original art pieces to decorate for the holidays?
ReplyDeleteYou should ask the good speaking English Lady about the hot water. Maybe she can tell you why sometimes you don't have any. Or maybe you can get it fixed.
ReplyDeleteYes mom we would love some of your original art pieces to decorate our room...we miss them hanging over my desk.
ReplyDeleteAm- we are going to ask her about the hot water and the internet too. Maybe she can help us figure it out.
