Today Sean and I woke up around 10:45AM and got ready. We left and began first by going to l'Arc de Triomphe. On the way to l'Arc we passed by the French embassy or something of that sort. While we passed we saw tons of cops and news crews everywhere. We found out that the reason for all of this was because le Ministère de l'Intérieur was arriving. We decided not to stay and watch since we were already on our way to l'Arc. Once we arrived to l'Arc we bought tickets. You had to be 18 or older to get on. If you were younger than 18 you would have to be accompanied by an adult, but I just said I was 18 so Sean and I got our tickets. We got to climb to the very top which was really cool. I got to take lots of really nice pictures and also got to see ALL of Paris. I even got to take some pictures through the telescope that they had. I put some change to take a look through the telescope, located what I wanted to capture, put my camera up to the eye hole, and snapped the picture.
After l'Arc de Triomphe, Sean and I decided to go to la Tour Eiffel to get some more pictures and just see it one last time. We took many pictures and walked around for quite awhile. When we were done we headed home. At home, we dropped off our stuff we bought while in Paris and then went right back out to go rent a couple movies. Now Sean and I are packing and later at 6:45PM we are going to meet Clarisse at her work. We are going to have a picnic near the Seine River with some of her friends. Tomorrow, home for Sean and Lille for me.

See, I knew you were all grown up: 18 !!...
FYI: there is no "French Embassy " in Paris, because embassies are representing a country in a foreign country... Maybe it was Le Palais de l'Elysee? (home of the president and offices of the French government).
As usual, you are doing cool stuff: picnic in Paris, nice...
Bisous!!
Could your life be any harder?
A picnic on the Seine?
How do you manage?
Glad you are still having a good time. Give a big hug and kiss to Clarisse from me.
