France Must Love Me

I swear, France has been spoiling me with live entertainment wherever i go... Some good, Some not so good... First on the way to the subway a violin player who must've played for hours, since when we came back she was STILL playing, that's how I knew i was going the right way. Then on the way home from Disney Land on the train was a not so good dancer... He was about 13 or 14 and he was listening to his Ipod and started to dance, very badly. Lillion, Peyton, Félicie, and I had a good laugh, and Félicie got it on video on her phone, it was pretty funny. Peyton dared Lillion to say "nice dance moves" as we were getting off the train, she refused! C'mon, it would've been hilarious! Then today i was treated to an accordion player on the subway. the. entire. time. right before our stop to switch subways, he walks around with a little cup for money, and gave us an annoyed look when we didn't put any money in the cup. Seriously? We just wanted a quick ride to meet up with one of Félicie's friend, Artus, and  we would've preferred not to be tortured by some accordion player asking for money on the way. Then, we went into some electronic store to look at everything, Artus tried to get me to listen to French Rap, but the music players there weren't working because everyone was uses them. He said French Rap is awful, like really bad. I just have to wonder why he wanted to listen to it in the first place... We played angry birds on Ipads, Iphones, Ipods, and everything else. We played with one of those DJ things, and watched some 3D TV, which wasn't THAT bad... And as we leave the shop, we are yet again treated with 5 dancers, but they were actually really good. We got there and people were surrounding them, its funny, sometimes they were break dancing with like ballet music, and then when the guy was talking (don't know what he was saying, so...) this oldish lady came up to the microphone, holding a box of something lie chocolates or whatever, starts talking endlessly, and starts singing, and the dancers would like clap to get her to stop but she wouldn't, and then they would like try to turn down her microphone but she still sang, after one song the guys try to take the microphone, but she sings, yet again, they got the microphone, finally, and gently pushed her off their "stage" and continued dancing. We got some of their dancing on video, but sadly not the lady singing :(
We were at the beach last week with ok weather and some bad rainy weather. No windsurfing like promised, but i didn't complain. We got to sail and i got to hang off the side of the boat which was really cool. The second time we went there was wind that day, but in the middle of all of us sailing, no more wind. The guys would tilt the boat up a lot to go faster, and once Gabrielle, Capucine's friend, nearly slid off, it was pretty funny!! then another time we all slid down the side! Don't worry, no one fell off! Once, Thibaut was getting really arrogant and was going faster than us, he was standing up to fix a sail, and started to like dance or something and then fell over which was really funny! He even flicked us off once when they're boat passed us! and then we passed them and everyone on my boat flicked him off, just for the fun of it, and his face was hilarious!!!!! I'm sad to say there were no pictures from the beach, but i couldn't bring my camera because it would just get wet...
We will be taking a bus tour of Paris tomorrow, and then head out to Burgundy for a few days, and there is a pool! :) which makes me happy, and even better, they told me it should get warmer next week! :) I may or may not have Internet there, i do not know yet!

I spoke with Mariah on the phone and she is wrapping up her French adventure in Burgundy...without a phone or Internet! She is having a good time but I think she really wishes she spoke French! I will be picking her up on Friday!
