Today began as any normal day would. Christie and I woke up just in time to make it to breakfast and we sat down with some other girls from our program. As usual, weekend excursions/plans were discussed amongst us. Teddy and I had planned to go rock climbing this weekend if weather permitted, but something much cooler came our way... 4 girls booked flights for Paris this weekend and had found an apartment quite near the Eiffel Tower for 100.00 per person the entire three nights. The kicker? The Tour ends on Sunday and they planned to watch it from Paris. Well as soon as Christie and I discovered this, we had to jump on board so we immediately said a prayer and went to the program's office to try and book a flight. There's no way we could pass up this opportunity.
Soooo we looked online for about an hour until we found round trip tickets for only 250.00 (pretty amazing considering we are leaving tomorrow morning and the other girls are payin much more). The apartment will only cost us roughly 70.00 for the entire three nights (yet it's private, roomy, central, and nice), and we plan to eat a few meals on the plane (hey it's free food). All in all a very good deal. We booked our tickets, booked room and board... and tomorrow morning we are traveling to Paris for four days where we will get to see Lance finish the Tour (and see the Eiffel Tower and eat chocolate croissants). Yup. Needless to say, Christie and I keep pinching ourselves because this opportunity just doesn't come often! Next week? Venice and Rome...
If only money grew on trees... We've run into a few problems with booking things online and money issues so we're praying that it will work out, and learning to trust God with things that are out of our hands (even when we've maticulously budgeted). Also praying that money concerns would not place a damper on our trip here and that we would be good stewards of what God has given us. Keep us in your prayers! Hello to everyone back home, I'll say hi to Lance for you!!! Much love!

sounds like a fun opportunity. I hope that you get a good viewing place.
Paris, are you kidding me!!! I am so green with envy. The pros are taking care of him. It is sad to have the ones I love so far away while I am stuck in a cubicle inside the spny pictures building. Be my eyes in the far away country and I will be yours here(you are not missing much) Pray for dianna having a rough time with her living situation I am praying for you~ Your long lost friend Heather
