The past 2 weeks i was finally reunited with someone from home


Auntys visit to France. PARIS, LYON, AVIGNON, UZES


 in total we spent 4 nights in Paris.... heres a few things we got up to......

so i think i will start right from the beginning... For our first dinner together aunty and i decided to fully embrace the fact that we were in France so we ordered snails for an entree. let me tell you this now snails are disgusting  they taste like grass. it was my first time trying them.


we visited the arc de triomph


 we also visited galleria Lafayette. It is such a magnificent building with a stain glass window roof and huge beautiful balcony's  You can also walk to the top of the building where there is a huge deck overlooking Paris.


   the Sacre Coeur and Moulin rouge


 and also the art Markets...



 we actually ended up doing quite alot in paris. Here's aunty and i by the eiffel tower


 and on the open roofed bus



 we also caught the tuk tuk taxi. it was pretty funny


On our last day in Paris we went and visited Line, the lady whom once many years ago my mother looked after. She took us to a very fancy restaurant. we also ment and visited the very famous road with all the original Brands such as Dior, Louis Vuitton ect and all the stores had building attached where the clothes were designed and made in. on this street we saw lots of women with botox. it was funny to look at.


- Lyon-
we were only in Lyon for one night so we didn't really do much. We just went shopping and went on the open bus tour of the town. The bus tours are great though because they really show you alot!



 -Uzes-
Uzes is a town in Provence in the south of France. In Uzes we rented a cottage out. In Uzes we vitied the town, the Haribo Museum/Factory and just relaxed for a few days. My Friend Ellie the Australian also came to the south of France for a few nights.




 ps.... don't you worry those lollies werent just mine... Aunty brought 3kgs of lollies. She's crazy!



-Avignon-
we stayed in Avignon for 3 nights.

we visited the palace of Popes, which is the place that the popes used to live.



 we went on a train tour of the town


And we also went on a boat tour on the river



So that concludes my Time with aunty. I said goodbye to her yesterday at the train station in Paris. She cried  which was expected. Loved seeing new sights and being with a familiar face.

school starts monday. so i'm not looking forward to that...

I'm meeting the new exchange student in la Fleche Tomorrow, her name is Nicole and she is from Oregon, USA. She'll will be at the same school as me.

Now 75 only days til My family arrives
and only......
127 days til i'm home

Love you all. I'll write soon
