A Wasted Day

So this morning I woke up at 9:30 to meet Raphael, the owner of the apartment to pay him and sign the contract. Then I went back to bed and we all slept until 3:15! I figured it was late but not that late! I hat"e that. We all had cereal for "breakfast" and then went shopping for groceries. It was the weirdest store. I had looked it up on the net and knew it was a grocery store, but fromt he street it looked like a Womens clothing store. The grocery part was all downstairs and it was huge. There was so much selection. We bought lots of stuff and walked back.

We started making supper right away so we could go out. We made Stirfry and rice it was aweome.The rice comes in cool little plastic packages that you just put in boiling water for 10 minutes. There is no measuring and no burnt rice on the bottom of the pan. We even bought steel wool prepared for that. The rice that comes out it perfect! Not mushy at all. It is Uncle Bens. I dont know if we have that at home or not cause eric and I always buy the cheap stuff cause we have a steamer.

I did laundry and we all relaxed for a little bit before going out for a walk. Eric and I went on our own. We shopped around fo souveniers for a little bit. Then we went to the fair in between the Jardin de Tulliers and Place de Concorde. It wasnt that exciting but we bought a Paris Paris Paris Paris bag and a large thing of delicious cotton candy and hung out there. Then we walked along the Seine River for a while before heading back. At 10 oclock the Eiffel Tower started sparkling with lights. It looked so cool. It did it for like 10 minutes. I didnt have a camera so I didnt take any pictures of anything. We came back to the flat and now we are goig to watch a movie and then go to bed. Tomorrow we are going to wake up earlier and then celebrate the new year way before anyone at home!
