Day 3 and 4: Paris

Yesterday I woke up and went out with Becca and Billy. We went to the Arc de Triomphe, it was extremely robust and had gigantic sculptures on it. We saw a model doing a jump scene for a photo shoot. After that we went to Sacre Coeur. It is a chapel that is built on the tallest part of Paris. It was huge it had a large dome and massive ceiling paintings. We couldn't take pictures of the inside of it. We went to a crepe shop and I ordered mushrooms, cheese, and tomato. My French is so bad when I said champignons, they thought I said jamon. I took a bite and saw the pinky flesh of a little piggy. I had no idea what to do since we wouldn't be able to communicate. Becca thankfully bought it from me for later. We watched a German street musician singing in English. We than had to head out to the pompidou center to have a look at some modern art. We sat outside hanging out until the tour started. A group of French students who spoke some French came over and asked me what my tattoo said. After I told them they invited us to drink wine and play music outside of the pompidou center, we had to decline since we had a school function to attend. The museum was pretty fantastic. Afterwards  we sat outside the pompidou center and had a picnic. While we were having that picnic a guy came up and tried to speak to us in French. When he realized we couldn't understand and told Jamie "You have beautiful eyes". Then commenced a 20 minute long session of this guy and his friend coming over and both trying to win over Jamie's affection. They said that they would go home and shave and shower and then she could come over and talk to them with the aid of a language dictionary. We told them no and then started heading to the jazz concert that was scheduled. The concert was in a petite cafe in the gay part of town and all 50 of us were crammed in there. It was pretty uncomfortable. They played a little slow for me. Finally we came back to the hotel and Jamie and I decided to go drinking. When we went the waiter from the restaurant that we had the group dinner at called us over and invited us to a drink. a couple of wine glasses later we headed over the Crocodile Verde and had a couple of mojitos. We got pretty well off and headed home. Jamie and Artur are now friends and she is hanging out with him right now. I got REALLY sick and threw up all night. It was terrible, then today we woke up late and I had to take a quick shower and run out with no breakfast. We went to the Grande Opera house of paris. It was extremely lavish and ornate, but I really couldn't enjoy it because I felt so sick. I threw up in the bathroom at the Opera. Jamie was pretty sick also and threw up at the Opera house too. She went home, but I powered through and went to Dórsay museum. It had a lot of Van Gogh which was nice, but I still didn't feel well and skipped lunch too. When I got back to the hotel I really wanted to nap, but instead I went to the pool with Cesar and his friends. It was pretty fun and we all made plans to go to Sacre Creo and watch the sunset. It was pretty fun. I ate pasta au pesto. I ran up and down giant hills all day. I am surprised I didn't pass out and die right there. It started to thunder and lighting close to the time of the sunset. I was really pretty to look at. So we went to a cafe near Moulin Rouge. We people watched and talked. It was pretty chill. FINALLY we went home and now I am about to pass out from sheer exhaustion. Loves
