- Happy New Year!
Started off the evening of festivities by cooking over at a friends house. chicken crepes...so what if its not a grand meal, its all we had, we had our pre fix of champagne tho. Now I never opened a bottle of Champagne before, and I did not know about the top popping off, hitting the ceiling and the volcanic eruption of champaign over flowing the bottle. But now I know. Oh and the night progressed by a little social drinking and ouderve (sp?) party at a colleugue's apartement. A large group travelled to Paris to the eiffel tower. It was all lit up so pretty in gold. and at midnight it sparkled white and a few unpowerful fireworks were displayed. We later heard the more grand were at Arc de Triomphe. oh well now I know. Earlier that day I walked through the exit of the Invalides and pretended I did not hear the ticket taker shout, "madmoiselle!" I exactly knew what I was doing, I just felt to cheap to fork over the 5 euro thay were charging for the 10 minutes that I was going to spend inside the church. So i quickly took a pic of the cieling, of napoloen's tomb and the shiny glowing altar. After retrieving another employee to work his spot the man in uniform found me and asked for my ticket. I replied with a confused look on my face, "je ne compron pas, parlez-vous anglais?" He kept rambling on about a ticket and escorted me out...I knew it would end that way, I think I've done this before, but I cant remember when or where. Funny how I will pay whatever I pay for alcoholic beverages...and wont fork over a dime when it comes to entering historical monuments-hey Im a typical college student and I dont like to follow rules.
