Birthday à la French

So my birthday was March 12. I told myself, "I don't normally have a birthday party, I don't want to make a big deal about it. It's cool if I don't do anything." But when my friends found out when my birthday was, they decided THEY were going to do something. Thursday, at lunch, my friends brought me a home made lemon meringue pie (baked by Thibaut, who is an expert in the kitchen) and candles! With the entire class around me, I blew out all my 19 candles, to the cheers of my friends. It was really a super birthday, and a memory I'll keep for the rest of my life.

I TOLD you I'd get the Paris photos up sometime or other.

So here we are with some images of Paris to sum up my trip in January. Starting with the Victoire de Samanthrax, aka the most beautiful statue I've ever seen. It's seriously breathtaking.

Stereotypical picture of the Eiffel Tower. No, I didn't go to the top because there were too many people. I went to the Musée d'Orsay instead.
Versailles, and Marie Antoinette. Lovely.
And, together with Versailles in all it's splendidness, we have... Jeff Koons, and his enormous plastic lobster and other works of art. I could be persuaded to appreciate it, if it weren't for the fact that I was there to see VERSAILLES, and history, not vaccuum cleaners put into plastic boxes to make a statement.
Finally, a rather blurry photo (I was in a hurry) of Paris in the snow! It doesn't snow much in Paris because of the pollution... But it did for me!
