a weekend in paris...coming up!

So I just have to say it...how cool is it that I can randomly decide to spend a weekend in Paris without any advance planning...and that I can do it for 35 euros? To explain, the family Shannon is staying with in Paris wants to meet me, so I'm going to spend the weekend with Shannon and them, stay at their house and enjoy some great food! And rumor has it that all the visitors to their house get these cool beaded slippers from Turkey (they're Turkish), that alone is enough to make me come! AND they have a 6 year old daughter, so I'll get to play with a kid!
