So Katherine has asked me to become a blogger. She seems to think that I may have some interesting experiences over here and might want to document them. I figure I will humor her and try it out, perhaps my mom and grandma will look every now and then too....

I will try to figure out how to get pictures on here so that might make it a little interesting... not sure how often I will update it but definately not when I have just sat around watching tv....

To bring you all up to speed (all 2 of you reading this), I have arrived in London safe and sound and although I am freezing my little petootie off, it has not rained on me. It did rain on Jamie though, he was out buying a dvd player and some bathroom trashcans... he was hiking back to my flat (English Word (EW) for apartment) and it downpoured on him. As soon as he got into the apartment the rain stopped. They are not predicting rain anytime in the near future so...

We went to Paris last weekend (insert beautiful picture here....) and had a fantastic time. Had lunch when we arrived and the only word I recognized on the menu was hamburger so I ordered it. What arried was a hamburger patty with a fried egg on top. I wish I had thought of taking a pic of that! It actually was "very, very gooood" (I quote Isabella here with an Italian accent) We did some touristy stuff then went to the top of the Eiffel Tower and almost got blown off, but it was a clear night so a beautiful view and I did get my kiss :) Next day was Sunday and I was so excited to go shopping at Champs-Elysees but alas everything in Paris is closed on Sundays except for McDonalds....

So here I am back in Croydon, safe and sound. Thus begins my international travels....
