"Oh, but Paris isn't for changing planes, it's for changing your outlook! For throwing open the windows and letting in... letting in la vie en rose."

Oh boy, do I have some great stuff here. Pictures I mean.... I may as well not even write anything because if "a picture is worth a thousand words," you will have devoured a whole book by the time you are finished. Here we go....

Well, since my time here is quickly coming to an end, we finally got out and looked around. On Thurdsay, Guillaume, Amelia and I went to the big Cathedral at Hotel de Ville. It was amazing! The pictures don't even show the half of it. I hope you can still see how cool it is though.
On Friday night we went all around Bordeaux with Damien. We literally went all over. We were lost for part of the time so I got to see more than planned, but I loved it! I tell you, this city is so beautiful! And old, holy cow......



Haha, sorry...... I have a lot of weird hair pictures on my camera.....

The Cathedral.




This is just a random picture :). After we got out of the Cathedral, we were going to go look at some stores on St. Catherine and I saw this guy. He had these little pink wings on and a green and yellow striped hat. He was just sitting there looking out of the window. I am sad I couldn't get a good picture of him. It was really funny.

Now we are onto Friday. (If you notice, the sky gets darker and darker :). Also, it was the nicest day ever! The sky looked beautiful.) This is another Cathedral in Bordeaux. It was built so long ago! I can't remember when he said it was, but it was something crazy....
This is in front of the Grand Theatre. That is the Grand Theatre on the right. I tell you... it was such a pretty day!!



Hehe, so these pictures are silly. They have these things (that we were standing on) on some roads that come up and down so cars can or can't go through. I don't really understand how they work. Anyway... Amelia was telling us about how she used to go stand on them after a car had just gone through and then they would lift you up. Well, of course we had to do it :)...

Hehe, this is Amelia's cell phone....

We are just good friends. :)

There was a sign that said "Undrinkable water." Darn it..... good thing they told us though.


I don't even know what this guy was..... He was cool though, so there you go.

Yeah, I really need to learn the names of these places. I know where to find them, but I don't actually know the name. Oh well... This place is beautiful. It is right next to the river so it reflects off of it at night. It is beautiful. You will see later....

Damien and Amelia. Amelia is just disgusted with me because I don't care if I am in any of the pictures so she is trying to explain that I am a loser. Just kidding....... but that kind of is what is going on....
Yay! She is just so happy to be alive!

Hahahaha.... this is the "French pose" that Amelia came up with..... :D
I just decided not to pose......

It was starting to get darker :). I love that every picture gets just a little darker......
Hehehe, these are Amelia all the way. I was just trying to make her happy :).

The "Pont de Pierre." (I actually know that one!) It is a beautiful bridge! I am so glad we went at night! It isn't half so cool in the daytime.
This is the Gironde river. Not so pretty in the day time, but again... the night makes it beautiful.







I look like I was just caught red-handed and am about to run for my life. It was actually just that Amelia surprised me with a picture. Hehe......

See, there we go. This is the building in the previous pictures. It is so pretty.......
Also, you will see a Feris Wheel in the distance. There is a fair going on apparently. It was just the perfect day to do this....Also, best ever, as we were walking down a street there was a man playing "La Vie en Rose" on the accordian! Are you joking?! How cool!


So, this thing came out of nowhere and just jumped in the picture. I don't know who ir thought he was to do that, but... there it is. It and Damien.

This is me though....


On the Bridge again.....


Hahaha, this is going to be Amelia's Halloween Costume. Hahahaha! I think it is Big Foot but you can't actually be sure. It's so cool though.

Well, I don't have anything else to say. I hope you enjoy the pictures. I would like to leave you with a quote though.....

"If growing up means it would be beneath my dignity to climb a tree, I'll never grow up, never grow up, never grow up! Not me!"

Take that for what it is......
