Hospital Day Five

Days at the hospital blur together. It's the waiting, the anxiety that really gets to me and causes to me break down. She is improving though, very slowly but surely and it really brings hope to everyone. Yesterday she talked! This doesn't seem like a huge deal but it really is! It's funny though because when we get all excited when she says "hi" she acts like were all crazy. I don't know if the reality of it all has really sunk in yet, but each day she's remembering more and more. Each smile, laugh, and word makes us so happy because we know she's getting better and will soon be herself again. Today is my fifth hospital day, but let me just say it feels like it's been a year. It's so hard seeing her like this but I know she will recover and be our day brightening Isabel again.

Notre Dame

Today we visited notre dame. Notre Dame is a gothic cathedral in Paris. Once we got to Notre Dame we had to stand in a large line. it took about 15 minutes until w actually got inside. Right away we started to climb the 400 steps to the top of the church. We climbed and climbed and climbed and pretty soon we got to the first level. it was a pretty good view but the top was much better. Once we got to the top we had a spectacular view. Not as good as the Eiffle tower, which you could see, but still a view of the river and below Notre Dame. Inside the church the priest was preaching and there were candles lit everywhere. We walked around and looked at statues like the sculpture of Joan of arc. Once we left we headed on looking forward to the rest of the day.

The Patisserie

Today after we got back from are big museum walk my brother, sister, and i went to the Patisserie to get dinner and dessert that night. We walked around the corner towards a little shop that was down the street from our apartment. they had decorated treats like pie with the fruit in beautiful designs and they had treats that looked like they were a big glob of whip cream. We ended up getting one tiny pizza and a bunch of little pieces of pizza. For dessert we got to pieces of berry pie and 2 pieces of apircot pie, also an apple pie. The pie looked so pretty you didn't want to eat them to destroy the designs. they tasted just as good as they looked. when we got back we feasted on pie and pizza.
