Going Out With A Bang

So Saturday we went to Cambridge with cousins. It was so good to see my cousin Chris who is my age, but I haven't seen since we were about 8. We had so much fun together! And he gave me one of his old football team sweatshirts, so I get to proudly wear Coleby on my back. I love it. I also loved Cambridge! It was a very fun town with lots of shopping and lots to do. I could go to school there.

On Sunday, Mom and I arrived in Brussels, which is a very old and dirty city. But oh my heavens, the food is AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS! We had moules et frites (mussels and fries), waffles and chocolate. I would go back just for the food, it was that good. I thought I had died and gone to heaven.

Yesterday and today we wandered through Paris. Mom has made me do all the talking, and though its not perfect, I have communicated adequately with the taxi drivers, metro ticket sellers, waiters and some others. We saw the Louvre, Musée d'Orsay, Versailles, Le Champs d'Elysées, Le
Tour d'Eiffel, etc. we will see Notre Dame in the morning before I head off to the airport to go to Tanzania.

For my last night I requested a delicious American meal, so we un-Paris-ed ourselves for a couple hours and went to Hard Rock Cafe where I thoroughly enjoyed a 100% beef cheeseburger, fries with fry sauce and a chocolate shake. My plate was spotless when I finished. Now I'm ready to have a shower with hot water and good water pressure and a good night's sleep on a comfortable bed. :)
