This is kate, not emma!
and today is our last day - todaay we will be leaving Paris :(
We have done so much and it has gone so quickly (especially these last few days). Oh, on other news I got into arts at Melbourne and fee paying law at melbourne (not sure if I will try and transfer from fee law - ouch, sooooo expensive - or from just arts, hmmm).

We has a rather embarrassing beginning to our last stay in Paris... We flew from Montpellier to Paris (it was actually cheaper than driving!) and unfortunately we didn't know that our plane was ready to board and leave. So we were sitting next to the check-in for the plane, totally oblivious and eating our lunch when we were called over the loudspeaker and told to board at once ! Oh the embarassment of being the last people on the plane - walking on with all those accusatory faces staring at us. It was quite amusing later but at the time it was mortifying!

So what have we done in Paris? Well apart from buying another bag to fit our expanding luggage we have gone shopping, visited the Sacre-Coeur, the Louvre (Mona Lisa!), walked in the steps of amelie, visited the paris flea markets, the Moulin Rouge, gone to a rather cool medieval musuem and eaten our last french patisseries - nooooooo

Our actual metro station (the one that is 10 metres from our door) - Lamark, is Amelie's metro station in the film - how exciting (well, i think it is). Every day we have taken the metro somewhere, it makes me feel so parisian, especially as i now know the stations as they go past, pigalle, abesses, notre dame, concorde, louve-rivoli.

The sales started the day we arrived in Paris (in france the whole counrty has a set period for sales), and we made it to Zara (again!) where we bought some cute skirts and t shirts - so know the number of things we have bought from Zara comes to 8, hmmmmmmm... I do love that store. Mama bought a huge warm, padded coat from Galeries Lafayette. We also did a little walking tour of the old arcades in Paris - very cute, there was one shop which was all doll house furniture, it was so gorgeous! They even had little french tarts - i was tempted to buy one but figured I could buy a real tart for the same cost and (as an added bonus) actually be able to eat it.

I have had hot chocolate in Amelie's cafe and seen too many paintings to mention. I have even seen the beautiful Lady and the Unicorn Tapestries in the medievl;a museum (Heidi and Loren - do you remember them in that novel with the sisters, one blind with red hair and the other tall with blond hair - i cant remember the name)

Oh, sorry, I have to go - we are leaving for the airport ( 24 hours!!! of plane),

See you soon,
love kate
