lost wallet...lucky day :)

Hey everyone! So I know this post is just shortly after my last one, but a bit of things have gone on. Two night ago, I started dreaming in French. Weird because I have not been submersed in it by any means, I have still been speaking a lot in English. Nonetheless, it was a cool experience. Also, My 3 roommates are from Norway, Italy, and Mexico. It's quite the combination because I only speak English, my Norwegian roommate speaks Norwegian and English,my Italian roommate speaks Italian and French, and My Mexican roommate speaks Spanish. its actually watching us all try to communicate with one another.

So though I have only been in Paris 3 days now, I feel quite at home. It is an odd feeling. I love it here. The architecture is absolutely beautiful all over the city--even the common buildings and shops have intricate detail in the structure. I have been to the La Louve, Musee d'Orsay, L'arc de Triump, Champs-Elysee, Notre Dame, Saint-Chapelle, Eifell Tower, and many other historic sites across the city. Some even twice! I have been walking quite a lot so it's not surprising that my feet are getting tired. I have also been eating more becuase let's face it--the bread is delicious here!

Aside from the beauty of the city, there is a lot I am taking in. I am absolutely enthralled by the people I am meeting and am very lucky to be having this experience. Tonight, we all decided to go out together. We went to a couple Irish pubs )per the suggestions of the guys from Dublin) and it was nice. Keep in mind it was a Tuesday night so nothing wild. haha. On the way home, I did have to take my own taxi which cost €10, or $20!! And I lost my wallet to top it off so I was having a fit! I was not sure how to contact the bank because you cannot call a 800 number from outside the states. Just as I was struggling with that, there was a knock on the door informing me that the taxi driver had come to return my wallet!! oh, shear luck!! its good because I was trying to calm myself and think that everything would be okay (though I am using my credit card for everything.) I knew God was with me and as always, He came through. It never surprises me how far faith can go. :) :)

So tomorrow is my last night in Paris, my Norwegian roommate, Trude, and I are hoping to book a train to the south of france. Hopefully my luck continues and we will see where it takes us. Thank you for all your thoughts, I love and miss you all.
