:reality kicks butt:
who said the french were jerks???

i am pleasantly surprised to find that the french have been the nicest people so far.
everything has worked out perfect, right down to my 1st class ride on the fastest train in the world, to seeing ethan hawke filming a movie a foot away from me outside of the notre dame.

ha. ethan hawke ...induce drool now...

i got the first hostel i tried for, and got ahold of pierre on my first try...
tomorrow, my 23rd birthday, i will meet pierre for dinner in front of the notre dame.
my plan is to get to the top of the eiffel tower before midnight and celebrate the occasion.
i am so glad i didn't stay in porto portugal, and so glad i have a whole week in paris and france...i just can't believe i am here...
i nearly cried walking up the cathedral...completely awestruck.
i ate dinner on some little street, a crepe, and began to read my new book by my favorite, alain de botton.

i just can't believe this is my life.
i am so glad i stuck this out, and didn't come home early.
i would be sorely disappointed.

happy birthday to me.

ciao ciao

	From way out here where it's so hot they take saunas to cool off.... Happy Birthday, Kelly! It's no wonder 23 is your favorite. Your birth time was 00:23. Grab all of Paris you deserve. Swim in it. Toy with it. Drink of it. I swoon a bit knowing you are doing all that and more. Bless you. With love, admiration and respect, ~Dad. (Reply to this) (Thread)
