Cupcakes and Cemeteries!!!

It is quite common for people to visit cemeteries in Paris. Checking out the burial place of famous people is not as interesting to me, but i went along for the trip anyways with the promise of getting a cupcake after. Cupcakes in Paris arehard to come by so I had to go. Equally hard to come by is cheesecake, and while i am not a huge fan Jessie is so that worked out. To start of the very adventerous day we met our American friend Cait at Breakfast In America, a really typical diner style place that serves pancakes and eggs and hash browns and other breakfast products that France doesn't do. After that we went to the Pere Lachaise Cemetery. I did take lots of pics. Some were simply because i liked them and others because they were famous. Of course I captures Jim Morrisson and Oscar Wilde's (Cait made us faux kiss it). Then we went to find our cupcakse and came across Vitor Hugo's house. It wasn't that great, but i found one room oddly oriental and so i posted that. Then off course we finally got our treats and I made sure those pictures were posted. Later that night Jessie and I started our Advant calendars so I thought i'd share those as well. There are also some pictures of the metro because I was apparently very into photographing that day. ALSO in case anyone reads this I found out merely and hour ago that i PASSED my french class!!!! Jessie and I picked up our grades today and were both relieved to have scrapped by, it was close. Very excited at the moment. I'll have to upload that photo and post it later :) Anyways, enojoy my cupcakes and cemetery photos!
Oh! and this morning I had my last final and when i was up this morning walking to school it was 1' Celsius, which is like 33.8'F and at noon after the temps rose to a cool 2' (or 35.6')! SO i was literally freezing, but the exam went okay. And we were lucky enough to see snow flurries, but haven't had real snow like Aunt Paula in Houston or those folks in Maine. I wonder how California and Colorado are faring in the December weather.?

Dublin

After Thanksgiving we went to Dublin. Along for the trip were Wyatt and Marcos who visited Jessie for the week. It was a freezing weekend to be there. On Saturday I wandered around checking out all the museums and parks with Sarah, an Australian girl who i meet in the first muesum, while Jessie and the boys watched a rugby match and ate chicken nuggets and chips. I met up with Jessie later to attend an Evensong service at Christ Church Cathedral. Then we all went to a pub and ordered nice Irish food and Guinness to watch another rugby match. I think there was a tournament or something happening that weekend. My pictures start with my first stop Saturday at Trinity College, where i saw the Book of Kells. Then i went to the National History Museum, the National Gallery, St. Stephens Greens and the other major park. I went to St. Patrick's Cathedral then met Jessie at Christ Church. Sunday we went to the Guinness brewery for a tour and then to a little coastal town called Houth. Most of Houth I was unable to photograph because it was pouring rain, but we ate some really good fish soup and Jessie and I tired their special: Ox tounge. It tasted like bacon. Also I added a lot of Dublin's Christmas decorations because, well, i love Christmas. Enjoy!

I Love this pic. I made Jessie make sure that Guinness really does only use the best ingredients! They do.
