Well, pas exactement!
Apres visiting le Louvre avec ma mere et Caroline, we were extremely tired and in need of a glass of wine! So we decided to go to the cafe outside, near the pyramid and while we were enjoying our vin blanc, Caroline said "don't look now, but I think that's Meryl Streep." So of course, me and mere looked now, and it WAS Meryl Streep! Usually celebrity sightings to do not excite me because really, who cares. But Meryl Streep is in a completely different league of celebrity! It was very cool to be sipping your wine tables away from one of the most famous actresses ever, while people watching at the Louvre! Paris is simply magnifique! Even Meryl thinks so!
Mom kind of liked the Louvre, I think only because we did not stay there very long. Caroline and I found out we get in free because we are students in France, so due to tiredness, we did an abreviated visi
t which included "la Jaconde" (the Mona Lisa), and my very favorite, "Winged Victory". Mom re-inacted Audrey Hepburn coming down the stairs near the statue in "Funny Face" which was quite entertaining. We will go back several times to view the other millions of things inside, study, read, and perhaps bring the sleeping bag Caroline brought and attempt a secret Louvre sleepover!

Mom is super jealous! It should be very fun because the city is sooo beautiful at night, and we're hoping to make some more amis.
Caroline saw Ratatouille yesterday while I was out with mere et pere! So he is offically our pet. Today I looked for mouse traps and couldn't find them anywhere! I think this is partially due to my lack of French vocabulary. Like the word for "trap" "killing" and "mice". But, thankfully we just learned from our English speaking neighbor we did to search for something called "mort aux rats" (death to the rats). HA! What a funny name. Appartently that is poison that will do the trick. Poor Ratatouille, soon he will be in mouse heaven. Hopefully eating lots of fromage.
