Sushi in Paris -who knew?



Today was amazing! We got up early from our very comfy hotel rooms and went to a free breakfast of coffee, bread, croissants, yogurt and hard boiled eggs. Then we went to the Palace of Versailles where Marie Antoinette and Louis the 16th lived. I was beautiful. We went all through the open parts of the palace and then for a walk in the gardens. Kat, Gaelen and I went to lunch at a little sandwich shop and then we took the RER ( a fast underground train, its not the metro it has less stops and goes faster) to the base of the Eiffel Tower where we WALKED up the stairs 600+ up and then 600+ down !! So many stairs! It was beautiful. After that Kat, Gaelen and I went and got a Crepe Chocolat Banane - or chocolate banana ina crepe :) it was very good and much deserved after the stairs. We meet up with the rest of our group back at the hotel and headed out to dinner. SUSHI! I was skeptical at first but willing to try - and I really liked it! I will be going out to sushi a lot in Corvallis when I get back I have always heard about some great places there but never had the guts till now to try it. We had a fun time at dinner and then came back to the hotel to rest- so tired! I am so glad to be with my group though so nice to not be stressed about it anymore I am not even that nervous about meeting my family! Love from Paris!

  1. You're braver than I!!! First Escargot, then sushi?(shudder) Good thing you didn't go years ago, or the 4-H cooking judges would be in for a surprise, huh? Glad you are open to new tastes, new vista's and (obviously) new friends, too! FUN!! Love you - Mom
