Today we're celebrating Mr. Marchs' birthday and we are also meeting Bree for the first time today! I was really excited for the big day ahead. Deija and I woke up a little flustered this morning, probably because we both stayed up till about 3:00 AM playing dice and BS. We gathered up everything and put it in our backpacks and made our way to Notre Dame. It was time to say goodbye to our little hotel because later that night we will be on our way to Bayonne, France and then to St. Jean-Pied-de-Port where we will begin our journey.
March turns, hands me a map and says "Okay, how do we get there?" .. It was my turn to guide. Following a map is harder than it looks, it takes some time getting used to but i eventually got the hang of it. After a while we sat at Notre dame for about three hours eyeing the beautiful foreign .. Uh, architecture.... ;) but it truly was amazing, a fabulous piece of work. As time went slowly by, we watched pigeons, and kept a wide eye out for Bree. Earlier we had bought pre-made Crepes along with a small jar of Nutella and fresh strawberries! Mmmm mm mmmmm! It was delightfully delicious. We had planned to save some for Bree but by the time she got there all of the strawberries had been eaten and a pigeon had flown by and sprinkle dirt all over the Nutella so all we had to greet her with was crepe wrap. By the way a crepe is like a very thin egg battered pancake usually with chocolate or just sugar spread on it and folded. There was many different options for Crepes, I prefer the ones with fresh fruit (: I like Bree a lot she's seems to be a nice lady and I'm glad she is coming with us.
As a Happy birthday gift for March she gives him a small thing of jerky, she said she got a little hungry on the plane. Haha we all went in search for a whole in the wall place to get some good food, fast and cheap. We decide on a place and the sign above says "Fast Food" ... It was not fast at all. The food was good but it took the guy at least ten minutes to make each of our meals, it was agonizing.
We finally get moving to the Eurostar train station and get our tickets. We head out just across the way and sit by a river. I leaned against my backpack and took out my journal and started to write. It was amazing, the feeling I felt was like no other before. I was care free, not a worry in mind. All I had to do was sit on a bridge, watch the beauty and cleanse my thoughts into a pen and onto some paper. I wish my mom could have been there to see it all too but don't worry, I'm taking plenty of pictures. I want you all to feel like you were there right next to me.
We board the train and it's not bad until the people in front of Deija and I begin to get a little more comfortable, then find a way to SLAM their seat down on Deijas knee and after about twenty minutes of this we switched spots because my legs are shorter and could fit fine. About ten minutes after we switch the other guy pushes his chair back so we tried to get sleep but it was nearly impossible. I just remember trying to relax in all these weird positions. My legs were streched out into the isle, my head was bent over the arm rest and it was just horrible but we finally arrived! I can never thank Mr.March enough for giving me this opportunity. I don't think this will be my last time traveling. It's now time for the next train..
