Ca va?

We made it home from Paris. In order to keep it brief, we had a great time and you can check the photos at http://picasaweb.google.com/lntlarsen/FranceTrip

It really was fun and great to spend some time with Travis. I remember all the reasons that I love him when we are together. Paris was freezing, and we were severely underpacked. Luckily our nice hosts, John and Celine, gave us their extra coats and hats/scarves/gloves so we survived. It was fun to stay with them because it gave us a taste of French life instead of just tourist things. We even went to the Paris IKEA (where they do not sell Swedish meatballs).

We had a great time at the Paris ward on Sunday. They have a sacrement meeting in English for visitors (mostly study abroad students), and it was so great. The Church is true everywhere! And it gives you buddies all across the world.

Missy, I worked so hard to get us to the catacombs, only to find they were closed until March 2008. (which is technically now, but still not open). Anyway, I was disappointed b/c you said they were so cool, and I had fought a battle trying to get us there, as Trav, John, and Celine all thought I was ultra morbid for wanting to see it. I was a little unsure myself when we got there because there was a group of about 15 highly gothic people loitering at the door. :) Maybe next time....

Food in France really is yummy, but so expensive. Mostly we ate mediocre food b/c it was cheap. We did have one nice French dinner that was delicious! And, of course, pastries and crepes that can't be beat!
