Death & Jackpot!

So we were supposed to get up this morning and attend mass at Notre Dame but Therese and I overslept on accident. So we slept til lunch, showered then went to lunch. Then we decided to go to the market- we rode for what seemed like forever then got off and it reminded me of death. (We heard these two girls on the trip with us found this awesome market with cute, cheap things) I feared for my life and I’m not being dramatic. A man that could have been Osama was sitting there at the metro stop. I did however, buy a bag for 10 euro that I could check on the way back since I had to have something and it was cheap—then we got the hell out of there.

We found the art market at Montparsse. I just felt weak all day so I wasn’t much into it either. And I knew I wouldn’t buy any of this artwork anyway. They had drawings on metro tickets… I mean it was cool but seriously? We spend some time there then went to check movie times at one of the cinemas for “Jackpot” or “What Happens in Vegas” in America . We decided we’d come back at 8. (We had to make sure the movie was in English! I’d hate to have to watch it in subtitles like the French…) Anyway, we went to eat at McDonalds. They had a code to get in the bathroom.. and btw, Mcdonalds was gross!

After dinner we went back to FIAP to put our bags up, I fell asleep and then we left around 7:30 for the movie. It was 9.90 euro to get in the movie and 4.50 for gummies! I felt like such an American and it felt sooooo good! Cause the movie AND previews were all in English! It was a cute movie, I felt like I was on an American vacation. After the movie they sent us out the back of the building in what felt like an alley. Once we got back therese and I played games like mash and made a fortune teller. I was OUT soon after! *I'm adding some pics of movie posters in Paris... I think it's pretty cool over here... note Sex and the City came out the week before it did America and the bottom poster is for Fools Gold or L'Amour de L'or in French!
