To quote the cartoon movie Anastasia "Parie holds the key to your heart!" I'm not so sure that the city is the key to my heart, but it was a beautiful place to spend my last traveling weekend. Leah and I met up with another friend, Stephanie, who is studying in Paris this semester. So, we had an awesome tour guide and someone who could speak some French to show us around. Some hightlights from the city for me were seeing Notre Dame and hearing the bells, touring the extravagant palace of Versailles, trying to see it all of the Louvre art museum, and, of course, the beautiful Eiffel Tower. I surprised myself by actually loving the Eiffel Tower. I thought it was just this big ugly structure that is a tourist trap, but it is actually quite nice! Going to see it at night was wonderful because it is all lit up and then on the hour it sparkles. Yes, that's right, it sparkles!A week from today I will be headed home! This last week for me is going to be finishing a paper, my art portfolio, and a few simple tests. I also have a list of some "musts" to do in London before getting on the plane home.
Hope you are all well and ready for the holidays! For those of you in school, hope your finals go smoothly! See you soon!

Safe travels home Amy! It's been fun to hear about London through your eyes this semester! I'm heading to London for 10 days at the end of my study abroad, so you'll have to give me some "hot spots" to be sure and see while I'm there, since you're an expert now and all :D
God bless!

What's next!?!?!?! HELLO - I have YET to hear about you biking across the great state of South Dakota. I bet if you were to do that - God would reveal himself to you in a tent along the road. Your life direction will be set. All you need now is a bike...and maybe a cheerleader.
