It has been over a week since my family and I arrived in Paris, and things have already been interesting. When we first got here, Mom got us an amazing apartment that has still been doing well for us. For breakfast I have been having croissants (special baked bread in Europe) right now instead of the usual waffles I've had back in America. We started shopping at a store known as "Casino" when we first got settled in, but it got too crowded too often, so we searched more of the city until we found a big mall (I forgot the name of it though) and had all of the things we needed (and still does now). Though we've had some problems with the program in the beginning, we've now been using Skype (a new communication program on our computers) in addition to emails to communicate with our friends back home in Virginia (especially with Meagan and her family). We're still waiting for the rest of our stuff to arrive so we can try out more of what we want here. Everything has been very good and interesting so far and right now the only thing I have not like has been the cold temperatures that have been around at this time of the year, other than that, things have turned out pretty much alright.
