Day 8

After drinking a few bottles of wine and champagne in at home Thursday night, Andrea and I slept in a bit before getting up. Bria flew in this morning and Hillary went to meet her at the bus stop in front of the Opera. Bria was anxious to see the city, so Hill took her out, and Andrea and I met up with them at the Pere Lachaise Cemetery. It was a very cool spot. We saw the graves of Oscar Wilde, Gertrude Stein, Jim Morrison, and a few more before it started to rain. So, we headed back toward home. Bria and Hillary took naps and Andrea and I tried to get our pics labeled and in order. So far, we have about 800! After everyone woke up, we went to grab dinner at a very cool café. I had the salmon—so good! I think I have gained about 100 pounds on this trip because everything has been so delicious. After dinner, Andrea and I headed home to get ready to go out. We were super excited because we had seen a club pretty close to the apartment that looked super cool. We got all prettied up and met back up with Hillary and Bria. The club (called CAB) didn’t open until midnight, so we had a cocktail on the patio and watched all the clientele arrive. And, Andrea and I flirted with the door guys and they let us in for free (instead of the E20 cover). Always a bonus! It was definitely fun—expensive cocktails and loud house music. The dj was awesome though—we hadn’t heard any of the songs before. Andrea and I danced our booties off. Hillary and Bria left around 1, but we stayed until 4:45ish…we were dancing machines! We figured this was our one club night out, so we had to do it up. Then, we proceeded to come home and cook up some chicken cordon bleu we had picked up (frozen) at the market the day before. Always delish at 5am! After pounding a few bottles of water, we went to bed. Pretty sure I fell asleep before I could even turn my bedroom light off!
