I'm finally caught up on all of your blogging! I feel bad that I had fallen behind. Anyway, sounds like you are still having a good time so that's important, although I feel like if I were you I would be ready to be done with Paris because it sounds like you've seen pretty much everything!

I've actually recently come across a couple of parks in Seattle that make me like it more because they are pretty and have beautiful views, but overall you're right that it stinks and doesn't have anything good. I'm not sure what landmarks Lindsay is talking about...

My questions: What are some of your favorite things so far? Do the cities sprawl out for a billion miles or is everything really just crammed ridiculously close together? It's amazing to me that a lot of the places you have been have populations at least as big as Seattle and yet there don't seem to be any tall buildings anywhere! Are the books I got you being useful at all?!

Also, nice job eating those mussels. I thought I hated mussels too but then Samantha and I had some at Pasta Freska last week and now we both like them! But we didn't eat a giant bucketful.

And that waffle looked freakin' amazing.

I have no voice on account of how loud the kids were today.

Also, starting tomorrow, Joey is back - without an aide.

Wow! It asked me a math problem before I could type my message--that's pretty cool!

I am just writing because it has taken me this long to find the area where you can write, becuase I am not that smart at the blogging thing I guess!!

Maybe I'll head over to HFS and beg them. We'll see (: C'mon--Maggie gets random roommate, likely the crazy girl someone else didn't want to live with, or the nice girl, but chances are low, OR lives with her awesome friend Beth!!!! Sounds like a no-brainer to me. You will definitely get a spot on the floor (even if it isn't with me). I know 3 people (gals) who are moving out next quarter (don't worry, it doesn't smell like fish or anything, they just want their own place).

Au revoir. Pourquo tu n'ecrit past en Francais? (ecrit? Est-que ca c'est le conjugation for ecrire?)

Also,

I am a fool because I just now figured out that not all of your blog entries are on the drop down box and that you have to click the other countries for those entries. Guess I have some reading to catch up on - although I think I talked to you everywhere you've been so far.

Great talking to you today! (as it is every day)

Btw, I think you need to figure out some way to watch the apple cup while you're in Berlin. That would be fantastic, but probably impossible.

Also, I like how your blog entries to this now show up on my newsfeed, so points for that.

Talk to you soon - I forgot to tell you that I get to take midterms Mon & Tues. so I'll be sure to let you know how those go.

Better than a weekend spent on underwater-themed quadratic equations, I say!

I have decided that this adventure of yours is putting a lot of pressure on the rest of us...Somehow a Saturday spent washing the car and picking up drycleaning pales in comparison to the new standard for a day off which includes multiple countries and world famous art and architecture.

I think I will go climb to the top of the Spaceneedle now.

At least Seattle has very pretty nature-ly aspects. But agreed on more interesting architecture. However, we do have all kinds of landmarks that you could use as potential clock towers. It's just that there's so many of them. So maybe you really want all the other buildings to have height limits. But, whoever thought up the Space Needle was ridiculous.

Wanita was fired today.

Zach wants to go snowboarding for his birthday (Which is on December 15th). Do you mayhaps have a snowboard jacket/snowpants that are not currently in France that I could mayhaps borrow? I don't really want to spend a whole lot of money on one day.

Agreed on living vicariously.

Today Jody spilled Wanita's pitcher of iced tea in the fridge. And left it there. The whole fridge was sopping wet and it even leaked out onto the tile floor behind the fridge. This happened during the middle of the day when Jody was there by herself. And she just left it there. For hours. And didn't clean it before she left early for school (Which happens at like 4:30). And of course Wanita flipped out, because she's mentioned cleaning up after yourself when you make snack several times, and also common sense tells you to clean up the iced tea you spilt all over the fridge.

During the meeting, Wanita was informed to talk to Jody directly with her issues. And she literally asked me, "So will you have my back?" Ugh. Also they have already argued loudly over the fridge right in front of the kids - And that was when nothing was wrong.

So raise your hand if you're looking forward to tomorrow!

Could you come home already and bring some peace back into this place? And maybe work at BGC? C'mon, it'll be great! For me..

Loved your Belguim weekend. I want that waffle too! It is so fun living vicariously through your travels. Thanks!
