Sunday in Paris (Day Two).

Ok I just need to make sure I mention what AMAZING hosts Charlie and Kelly were. Every morning when we woke up they made us a perfect little french breakfast of croissants, fruit and cheese. It was fabulous. So first we had our proper french breakfast, then we went down to rent bikes because we had a bike ride planned through this really nice park. At the end of the park is Roland Garros Stadium where they play the French Open for Tennis. Mike really liked it and it was really cool to visit. We were just wandering around and accidentally stumbled into the center court where they play the really big matches so that was really cool to see. After that we went to the Tuileries Gardens which is this beautiful garden right in front of the Louvre. We went on this giant ferris wheel which was awesome because we could see awesome views of the city. So there was like a carnival going on right next to the garden and somehow Kelly talked me into doing this bungee ride where they strap you in to this metal cage thing and there are two bungee cords on each side and then they just like fling you up in the air. It was really scary but it was really really fun. They video recorded us while we were in it too so that was pretty fun to watch. After that we went home and then went out to dinner. That was quite an experience. First I tried escargot, yep snails. It actually was not that bad and just kind of was the same consistency as calamari, and it just tasted like butter and garlic and all the other seasonings it was cooked in. So I felt pretty brave since I had done some pretty adventurous things that day. However at dinner we saw what the table next to us had ordered.... raw hamburger. Yep a big pile of raw hamburger. Apparently that is quite common in the summer for people to eat. To top that off they crack a raw egg on top of the raw hamburger and mix it all together. It was really gross and I was for sure not going to try that one. We however ordered cooked meat and made sure to order it well done!!
