Happy Birthday, Dad!

It's our last weekend in Paris before Dad leaves for Bangkok and I head down to Barcelona. On Saturday we met up with Mark at his apartment. I'm sure you can guess where we found him - snuggled up in bed, not very happy with me coming in and waking him up. We got him out of bed pretty easily though and then we went for brunch at Cafe de l'Industrie.

We then went back to the apartment to do some more packing//laundry before heading back to the hotel to catch the France vs England game of the Six Nations Cup. There was a packed English bar right next to our hotel and the fans went wild when on the streets of Paris when England won 17-9 over France.  After the game I went to use the computer in the hallway. As I was going about my business, in comes Little BowWow and his crew. He was doing a radio tour and they set up scene right beside me. Can't say I'm a fan of his, but cool to listen to the interviews anyway.

Tomorrow we're going to the Arab Museum close to Mark's apt and then having a nice dinner out for Dad's birthday. We're going to a Moroccan restaurant in the 3rd arrondissement that my friend once took me to. It has a very nice ambiance and delicious food!

My tooth isn't getting any better so it looks like I'll have to go home for a week to get it all dealt with. I'll be missing out on Spain, but it's probably for the best because this way I will be able to really enjoy the rest of my trip. I fly home on Tuesday morning and will be back in Paris on the 8th if all goes to plan. Please keep your fingers crossed for me!

xoxo
Alexis
