Reunited

Ciao a tutti,

My French sister, Éléna and me with the ND Cathedral in the background.

I've been to the top of the Eiffel Tower, stood underneath the Arc de Triomphe, and gazed at the Mona Lisa from 5 feet away, but none of these events compare to what I did yesterday. Éléna, Elsa, Anne, and Fabrice Toletti came to Paris to see me and it was the best day I've had since coming to France, and even Europe.

We started the day at Europe's largest car showing for the 2013 model of cars, and then made out way to a Chinese restaurant where we ate lunch. 

My French sisters, Éléna and Elsa Toletti.

After eating we walked to the ND Cathedral, the Louvre, and Centre Pompidou. We made our way to the bridge over the Seine River that is most famous for the many locks on the railings. The picture on the bottom of this post is us on the bridge.

Getting to see the many tourist attractions that Paris has to offer is great, but getting to see my French sister and her family once again was much more rewarding than any building, museum, or tower will ever be.

I will end this post saying "thank you" once again to the Toletti family for coming on their Sunday to see me in Paris. It is the highlight of the entire trip.

My French family.
Anne, Fabrice, Éléna, Elsa, and myself.

Until next time, ciao.
