Week 2:

July 22nd, Day 1: Our second week is going pretty good. We're still kind of getting used to all the different people and languages. And trying to learn the language! Pretty soon we are heading to Paris by train! We're so excited! We're going to stay in the Hotel Residence Monge in Paris. It's a good location in the latin quarter and two metro's within a block. It's a pretty nice hotel from what we've heard. We're so tired and we can't wait to relax! Earlier today we got something to eat. We had some Belgian chocolate before we left Belgium Brussles. It was pretty delicious! That was about $4 for each candy bar. So we spent $12 on chocolate bars today! Ha ha, that's crazy. And pretty expensive I'd say...

July 23rd, Day 2: After eating the chocolate, we decided to get some real food ha ha. So we walked to the Grand Palace. We have been walking a lot, because it saves us money and it's good exercise! The three of us each got a salad. They were $3 each. So that was $9.00. And it was a pretty good salad! Since we're heading to Paris, we are so excited! Right now we're all practicing our French so we'll be prepared to talk to some people. It's so difficult though! Well, hopefully it will get easier. Paris, here we come.

July 24th, Day 3: Today we just walked around...a lot of walking! We are so tired! When we were walking around, we stopped and looked at all of these different things that we've never seen before. We looked at some huge statues that were in the park, different looking trees, went into some shops, took a lot of pictures and we talked to some people. I asked a woman where the closest bathroom was. Since we are still in Belgium Brussles, I had to ask her in French. Ou se trouve le plus proche de salle de bain? Crazy huh?! Ha ha, it seems like a pretty tough language to learn. But i'm glad we learned how to say little things like that. I think that it's a pretty good start. (:

July 25th, Day 4: Today we just slept in because we were so tired from all of the exploring and great adventures. After that we went and got some breakfast at Chez Leon. We tried to pick a descent, cheap place. The three of us each got a plate of lasagne. The price was 14.40E. E-Euros? So...i guess they have Euros instead of Dollars. So 14.40E here in Belgium Brussles, is $20.96 in the United States. $20.96 x 3 = $62.88. So it costed us $62.88 all together for breakfast. That's pretty expensive! :/ And ya know how some people eat pizza for breakfast? I think lasagne is pretty much like pizza. Ha ha. (:

July 26th, Day 5: Paris is amazing. We are so excited to be here! We are staying in the Hotel Residence Monge and it's really nice. For the three of us it was $300.00. That's a pretty good deal. And the train that we took to get here, costed us $177.00. So that's $59.00 for each ticket. Well anyways, back to the nice hotel that we're staying in. Since it costed us $300.00 for the three of us, that means that it was $100.00 each. Well, we're going to go explore this place!

July 27th, Day 6: This morning we slept in because we were so tired from the train ride getting here to Paris. When we got up, we were so hungry. So we got some breakfast from a restaurant inside the hotel.
