Hey Everyone! Here we are in Paris, FINALLY on the blog (we couldn't get on the internet, which was a problem!).

Yesterday was kind of uneventful, and you heard about it from Mommy, so I won't go into detail.

Mommy and Daddy came up with a "brilliant" plan that everyone had a day where they picked what they wanted to do.

Emily's day involved (of course) shopping! After walking along, following Mommy and Daddy like blind puppies, we arrived at our destination. It was a bustling street, with TONS of people. The sidewalks were lined with little boutiques and shops. Emily and Mommy explored a few cosmetic shops until Emily decided that she wanted to go to a department store! We arrived at the department store in very little time.

After finally managing to leave the tourist section, we found our way to the bottom level. The bookstore was about ten-fifteen steps away from the teen clothing section, so while Emily dragged Mommy off to the latter, Daddy and I explored the bookstore (both groups had agreed to meet at the entrance to both sections)...

I was upset to discover that the only children books in English were not worth the time! I did, however, happily find some French versions of "Eragon", "Eldest", and the first six translated "Harry Potters". The newest book has not been yet translated, though we did find in British version. They spell 'capitalizing', 'capitalising'! (Sorry Ellen, that was in the last chapter!)

While waiting for Mommy and Emily to arrive at the designated meeting place, Daddy and I shared a DELICIOUS hot chocolate at the cafe, "Wash"(???) We finished it before Mommy or Emily could steal it!

I was a good sport as Mommy and Daddy dragged us around the city (above and below ground), and while Emily rushed into stores. My feet were still screaming as we plopped down on the bus.

With the help of our trusty map and a little old French lady, we arrived home safe and sound (and sleepy!).

Oh great! We're having eggs again, even though I TOLD Mommy I only eat eggs in omlettes. I'm starting to agree with Emily. We're in Paris, home to great food, and all we're having for dinner is bread, cheese, and eggs...
