'All the French I know I learned from "Da Vinci Code"'

Well I'm in Paris!! I said goodbye to my roommates and my flat on Monday morning and met my dad, grandma, and Aunti Sari at St. Pancras (one of the train stations in London). Then I had to wait for about eight hours until our train. We took the chunnel to Paris which took about two hours and then a cab to the hotel for another hour. It was a very waity day.

Goodbye to my home for 6 weeks... 37 Hyde Park Gate!

 On the chunnel. Very sleepy.

Because we did nothing but travel yesterday, I decided not to blog. But we did enough today to make up for it. We went to Disneyland Paris today!!!!! It was beyond magical.

To be honest I was a little worried. I wasn't the biggest fan of Disneyworld in Florida. I felt like it just didn't live up to Disneyland in Anaheim. But I really think they did it right with Disneyland Paris. While the place was smaller and there weren't as many rides, the atmosphere was just pure Disney magic. They clearly went to extreme lengths to ensure that every square inch of the park had a purpose. For example, when you walk through the castle, there are stained glass windows and a balcony that you can see the entire park from. Not only that. There is a dungeon beneath the castle where this dragon hangs out and breathes smoke. I really liked this park because it was familiar enough that you get your Disney fix but it's different enough that it feels like a new experience. It was so much fun!

 The castle was probably my favorite part of the entire park. It was beautiful!

 The dragon

 Pirate ship

 The Cave of Wonders

 The Beauty and the Beast miniature

 Adventureland was Agrabah!!

 Not Haunted Mansion.... Phantom Manor. But essentially the same thing

 Daddy hates pictures

 But I do not care.

It was a long day. And we missed Michael a lot. Disney is a family thing and it didn't feel quite right without Migo but we still had a really good time. 

We got back to the hotel at around 8 and went to this cute crepe place down the street. I had an egg and cheese crepe and it was delicious although trying to place our order was quite the ordeal.

I miss London and can't wait to go back on Monday. But I'm very happy to be here with my family. It's always 24/7 laughing with the Costello's :)
