La Famille: Premiere Partie

Mom and Dad getting their wine and cheese on in our apartment. Figuring out the Metro...
And making friends with "Pierre" at our neighborhood fruit stand. Actually, his name isn't Pierre, that's just what my family has decided to call every French person they meet. Either that or "Julio." Not sure why.
Outside the apartment in the 5th. We added the little French local for ambiance.

We checked out the Louvre on a beautiful clear night with a full moon.


The Tour Eiffel all lit up for night, with the Seine just in front and the golden dome of Les Invalides on the left in the background.



We went all around Montmatre and saw the Sacre Coeur. My dad sat and read his paper while my mom and I did some touristy shopping.

Host Family

So I realized I haven't posted a picture of my host mom and me yet, so here we are! We had a dinner party at our house tonight with some of her American friends, so I got to hear her speak English for the first time, which was great. Good thing she speaks some English, cause my parents are coming to Paris tomorrow, and lord knows they won't be communicating in French. Keep posted for the adventures of my mom, dad, aunt and uncle on their first trip outside the good ole U.S. of A.
