la première semaine :)

That means "the first week" for those of you who don't speak French! (haha joking..) But this weekend has been great. We finally got some time to just relax. Friday night we did the Eiffel Tower, Saturday we got to sleep in! Christy and I tried to get lunch at the boulongerie? (spelling, but it means bakery) but they were closed! the only thing on our block open was SUBWAY!! but we got that and it was super cheap, 4 euros for a demi sandwich et un boisson (half sandwich and a drink!). Like Christy said, "Even Subway is better in Paris!"

Then we went SHOPPING!! BUT... I didn't buy anything! huge surprise right?! Well we had a slight delay, our friend got lost on the metro on the way to our apartment, and we didn't even leave here till 4:30. We just went to the big department store block, which was probably a mistake because it was PACKED and everything was so expensive! I'm talking 1 floor of just shoes, one of just make up, one of just accessories, and about 6 floors of just clothes... ALL designer. (this was just the women's building, there was a whole other building for men and home!)

The stores close mostly at 7, so we didn't get to stay very long. There were some affordable stores on the street too, like Zara and H&M but it was SO crowded we didn't even try anything on, much less buy anything.

Also on the street was....


my first Guerlain Store!!!!


As most of you are well aware of my make-up obsession, Guerlain is my latest find. Its my Holy Grail of make up at the moment and I was so excited! there are 5 of them in Paris :)

Today, Sunday, was a really fun day. We woke up at like, noon (had to catch up on our sleep still!), and then Christy and I went to the franprix? supermarket. We got some stuff, made lunch and then met everyone over at the Opera House. 


pretty!!



We were supposed to be there at 3 but we were late! of course. we got there at like, 3:30... so everyone went in without us, and they closed at 4! We just sat on the steps...


cuties!


We then just walked around towards the Louvre, passed the Palasis Royal? Cant spell. But they had the Buren's column instalation...




And also some pretty gardens...


flowers!

fountain!


Then we walked over to the Louvre, but didn't go in. It was soo nice to just walk around!!


jack, me, christy and zane

woohoo :)


Anyways, that was our weekend! We think we have class tomorrow at 10? but were not really sure. Guess we'll find out soon! Miss you all!

xoxo,
