After several weeks of asking nicely followed by asking followed by forcing followed by giving up on Tom writing a post himself, I decided to write again.
Dad and Oma were in Paris this week! Oma seemed to be really enjoying herself which was nice to see. They stayed at my hotel for the first few days and it was really odd to see people so out of context (family at my work in Paris). We went to Notre-Dame and the Louvre together, and they did the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe and the Musée d'Orsay on their own. Dad took Tom and I out to the Moulin Rouge for dinner and a show which had to be the highlight of my time in Paris so far (contender is Disneyland on Sept. 2 - tickets have been bought!!!). Dinner was nice although not too flashy, but the setting was really cool especially with my personal obsession with the Moulin Rouge. We had a table in a really great spot to see the show which lived up to its reputation for costumes, lights, colours, dancing, gorgeous dancers, and overall good entertainment. Even the intermission-like circus acts were great - one of our favourites was a hilarious multilingual ventriloquist. Sadly enough they have a no-cameras rule so we have none of the show :(
Off this afternoon to do another free tour of the city since Tom is training to be a guide. Lots more learning of dates and names in history for him.
