les fleurs dans le jardin de monet sont magnifique

I think I'd have to say my favorite part of our first week trip was Giverny when we toured Monet's house and gardens. It was out of this world. It was out of this world beautiful, and I realized how amazing Monet is; his paintings really looked exactly like his house in real life. 

Me on the famous waterlily bridge. You know the painting I'm talking about right?

This is Christie and me.  I think she is a really cool cat. Cooler than most cats I know. She lives in a real tree house... like.. there's no walls or showers or anything and she likes to wander around. I like her. Also she listens to Joanna Newsom, so I think we're going to be friends. I hope so anyways. Maybe we will go to a music festival together at the end of this month. 

 Classic selfies.... ha ha..... 

Caleb and Sarah! It's true people. Well, I don't know for sure. But the love abides I'm quite certain. Marriage in the future? TBA.

Omaha Beach

Today was eye-opening and moving.  We went to the D-day Omaha Beach and American Cemetery, it was such an amazing experience. I was truly overcome with awe - so many men lost their lives there. Coming here helped me see the reality of war; the horrors, but also the resulting unity and respect.  Being here brought me to tears, but I'm grateful for the people who sacrificed their lives as they stood up for what they believed was right. 

After, we drove to Bayeux. It's a pretty cool little town, the best part is the cathedral. But I ate the best dinner here, so that rocked too.

bonjour from france

salut mes amis!! 

je suis en france! C'est un rêve, vraiment. But anyways, I've been having a wonderful time. I don't know where to start. Maybe I will just post a few pictures for you. The top picture is on the streets of Chartres, cute town huh? The bottom two are Caleb and other girls. Shae and I have been having a grand time trying to figure out which girl he will end up with. So far, we're going with Sarah (not pictured), but it's still early to tell. I'll keep you posted.

This is Robbie and Heather. I think they'd be cute together, but she has a petit ami déjà... It could still work out. ah... la ville d'amour, n'est-ce pas?
