vendredi (friday) 22 avril: i flew to france and also talked to Elder Bednar in the airport so that rocked. also coughed on micah the entire length of the atlantic ocean so that was a bummer. but we made it!!!!!! and our taxi driver played johnny cash and we were bewildered but it's all good.
lundi (monday) 24 avril: met my cutest host family, madame et monsieur boissy who live in the suburbs (le vésinet) and love michael jackson and feed us ridiculous amount of baguettes and also i think he used to be a concert pianist because he plays the piano for hours every night and it is magnificent.
the rest of the week: we literally just wander around paris and it is magical. so far this week we climbed roughly 3,000 stairs to the top of notre dame up a teeny tiny tower, sprayed ourselves with perfume in chanel, found the US embassy and consulate (my future place of employment), saw the eiffel tower, arc de triomphe, and about 400 other wonderful things.
after class micah and anneka and i generally find some of the other BYU homies and choose an area of the city to explore that day which has led to discoveries ranging from hidden holocaust memorials (so somber but so, so beautiful) to the only chipotle in france to monet's water lilies to free dance classes to the most charming chapels. also, we saw the lumineers in concert and in the words of both anneka cusick/joe watanabe it was actually LIT. also it resulted in a slightly (actually very) terrifying metro experience but we learned valuable lessons like how to avoid gypsies and to only speak french in public late at night but yeah we can all navigate the parisian metro system far better than the average american teenaged girl now!!! so who needs the patriarchy!!!
à bientôt,
reags
