Paris 9/27 & 9/28

Hey Everybody!
Paris was amazing! I had such a great time. Laetitia and her family were absolutely fabulous. There was no troubles on the flight, my seat couldn’t have been better (it was an aisle seat and no one was sitting next to me). Monday I slept until Laetitia came home from school and she showed me her high school and Benjamin’s middle school (Benjamin is her little brother). Laetitia’s mom Isabelle made a great dinner Monday night. It started with a tomato and mozzarella salad, then we had pork and ratatouille, after was the cheese, then dessert.  Laetitia works at a bakery and they make the most amazing breads, pastries, and muffins. Our dessert for both of the nights I stayed there were compliments of her bakery. Tuesday got off to a late start I didn’t wake up until noon, however within the hour I was off and exploring Paris. I first went to the les Champs - Elysees. That is equivalent of the Rodeo Drive of California or the 5th Ave of New York. After a stroll thru the shopping store and purchasing a very cute purse I then went to le Musée d’Orsay or the Orsay museum. It has mostly impressionist pieces there.  I saw pieces by Monet, Van Gogh, Renoir, and a few others. I took the metro all over Paris and there were no problems. After my excursion in city I went with Laetitia to her bakery where she works. It was truly en interesting experience, it reminded me a lot of my bagels days in Wilmington.
