i dont know how much time i have

ok... so im at the internet cafe again. i dont know how much time i have so if i stop mid sentence you know why. so let me tell you about the FIAP...it is the hotel we are staying at...um it isnt that great....little british kids are running around slamming the door 247. the other night these drunk americans were talking outside my window and offering the 13 yr old kids a cigarette...i got so annoyed that i threw a piece of salami at them...it was funny because they didnt see the salami fall and just heard the splat so they thought the british teens spit at them. it has been so hot n paris the past few days. i know it isnt as hot as LA but there is no AC. being smushed in the metro with 500000000000 people who are all sweaty with no ac in the metro either is the worst. anyways starting with this past Sunday...
the first day of our Musee pass was the 11th....Pompideu center, it was all modern and the theme was motion, there was a ton of movie clips and they had fish swimming and being projected so their shadow would appear on the wall...
Then over to the Aquarium...small place but fish are always fun to look at
Over to Chateau Vinncenes... the spelling is all wrong i know....it had a dungeon and a mote...king Louis the 14th had his honeymoon there...and that was it
Then lastly to the cite Science ...it is like the childrens museum in NO but 10 times bigger...tons of buttons to push..space, water, electricity, sound, medical, i got to put my finger on a machine and they could recognize my prints on ly finger and pull up a picture that i took in the front of the museum, there is this sound booth where they have unusal nosies...a bunny dreaming, snails eating; ice thawing...it was very nerdy but cool.
Monday....Top of the arc du triomphe.... dome church where napolean is buried.... and to the Pantheon...207 steps to the top and the view was amazing.
Tuesday...versailles...once again spelling....IT was so HOOOOTTTT and there were so many people that it wasnt enjoyable but stil very neat and pretty to see...then to the top of the Notre Dame 387 steps...that was the best view so far...you can look out at Paris with the gargoyles right next to you.
Wednesday....um i spent 4 hours in the LOUVRE! it is huge but all the paintings; sculptures and artifacts are fun to see. and today im doing errands because tomorrow i leave for Amsterdam....so no emails for a while but hopefully i will have fun stories to tell about this 5 day trip to the Netherlands. love you guys!
