Lille continues!

So today was lots of fun. We didn't do much but besides it being a relaxed day I still enjoyed it.

This morning I woke up a little late (12:00). I got cleaned up and then I had lunch with the family. Rose went to Euro Disney with some friends for the day so she wasn't there and neither was Marg but I didn't know where she was. After lunch, Gab went to a friends house while Sean, Caro, and I went to Lille to shop at the LOSC store. Unfortunently for us, the one day we go it is, off course, closed for inventory checking. DARN! So then we went to Footlocker and saw these cool shirts so we bought some and then went to another store to look around and I bought a nice, casual, long-sleeve shirt from this store called Pull and Bear. It was an alright store.

The center of the shopping center.

Right before Pull and Bear, Sean and I went in our own direction while Caro did some little shopping here and there. We then met up an hour later around 5:30 so we could go home. The metro was packed!

Once we got home, we all just laid around. We had dinner and talked about the plans for tomorrow. We planned on first going to the LOSC store, of course. Then we are going to this place called "La Quest". Christophe's work created the video that explains what you must do in "La Quest". It's very similar to a ropes course but indoor. You are on teams and just do lots of fun things. I think it will be very cool and I will definently explain better what it's like tomorrow once I have done it! After dinner, Gab, Sean, and I went outside to play badminton
and it was fun. Then we all just laid in front of the TV and watched some different things.

Overall, to some people today might have not been a lot of fun but to me it was very enjoyable. Can't wait till tomorrow!

Take pictures in Lille!!! We want to see the cousins also, not just monuments! (even though your Paris pictures are great!)

Second that one.

And, man, that sounds like the perfect day. I am jealous.

We got some eggs from the chickens and the bacon is ready. So, any time that you want your bacon and eggs, let me know!

Yes, take pictures of people you hang out with, as well as monuments, etc...that way, you'll remember your time with them, as well as the things you saw...
XOXO

Funny story.

I went to Hawaii in fifth grade. It was my first trip away from home. I took so many pictures. Literally hundreds of them. And, this was back in the day of film.

When I got back and got them developed, I had hundreds of pictures of lava and waves with no people.

I learned my lesson on that one.

But, Martin, you should go to Parc Asterix. I read an article about it the other day and it sounds awesome. Well, it is like Disneyland, but with Asterix and Obelix.
