Arrived in Paris on Friday after a lovely week in Poland with my family. They live in a town Mikolow, close to Katowice. It was good to catch up with everybody, I even got to see mum for a couple of days before she went back home. My aunt and cousin from Norway came over too so there was plenty to do and talk about!
The first weekend in Paris was very busy! My cousin, Marlene, has a lot of energy (a real Parisian girl!). It was a long weekend (for the 14th July, Bastille Day) and so she took me to visit the Cathedrale de Notre Dame de Paris and la Basilique du Sacre Coeur, in between introducing me to all her friends, going out for dinner, going to parties and all the rest!
On Monday we went to see the National Parade. We saw massive army tanks drive past, air shows and plenty of festivities. Many of the metro stations were closed so we did a lot of walking around Paris! It was a beautiful day but my feet were very saw when we got home. That night there were fireworks and a concert in the town square of Clamart, where my family lives. It all went well into the night and I'm glad I didn't have to work the next morning like everybody else!
The days are very long here, the sun rises at 4am and sets at 10pm. The weather is quite frustrating, one moment the sun is shining and the next it starts pooring down with rain. It reminds me of Melbourne really!
Will spend the next few weeks here with Mamie. I'll have plenty of time to relax and visit all there is to see in Paris. I've uploaded plenty of photos if you're intereseted( http://picasaweb.google.com/alrodriguez87 ). Am always happy to hear from you all so please write e-mails! Hope you are all well xoxo
