Last Day and a Thumbs down to Paris

Its my last day in london and sadly I have more errands to run than time to see the last bit of things that I wanted. Its alright though... there will be a next time.

I ended up hating Paris. I had a bad experience with a taxi driver that I don't really want to go into, which ended with me braking one of my dads cameras. SO it ended up being kind of a downer. The first night there was really great though, we went on riverboat tour of the city and then we got some wine and went to the eiffel tower and watched it glow in its blueness. It was quite neat.

I haven't done tons of things since, because I've had a lot of homework and stuff to catch up on. However, I did have time to go back to Camden town and shop through the markets one more time. I bought this amazing Schruti box. I realize no one might know what it is, but its really cool. Its like a drawn out bag pipe/ organ sound. Its really great. Anyway, its my favorite thing I've gotten because they don't make a lot of them in America... I don't know if we even have them ... but anyway... its great.

Also, an instrument I would kill to get my hands on... its called the hang drum. Here is a video clip, of imogen heap playing one

anyway, thats all I have for the moment... I cannot wait to be back in America.

SO glad you're coming home, and so dreadfully sorry about the camera/taxi incident. in honor of your crummy parisian experience, I'm from here on out only referring to them as "freedom fries."
