Europe

This post has nothing at all to do with running, I just thought this was a good place to write to all of you girls.

I just have to tell you that while in Europe, Sean and I ran into a group of girls that reminded me so much of the group of us when we were younger, especially of Fabs. We were waiting in line to buy tickets to go up the Arc de Triomphe when a group of girls stopped us and said, "Can you be our adults? If an adult escorts us up, we go up for free." We said sure. So we all walk to the counter and I say in my very broken french that we have two adults and 5 children under 18. The lady at the counter says, ok thats 30 euros for the group. I turn to the girls behind me with a questioning look as if to ask them, where did you get your "we go up for free" information. The girl in front started arguing with the lady at the counter that with adults they go up for free. (This is where it really reminded me of Fabs. I almost busted out laughing) The lady asked them where their teacher was. The girl in front again responded with, "These are our teachers". All the while Sean and I are standing between the lady behind the glass and this group of girls just looking back and forth between them as they argued. So the lady obviously knew we had nothing to do with this group and just continued to answer with, "It's 30 euros for a group." To go up for free, they would need to come back with their parents. But the girl retorted with, "I can't get my parents, they are in Holland. We are on holiday!" This went back and forth for a while and finally the girls gave up and walked away. Sean and I then asked for two adult tickets and went up by ourselves. It was a really funny situation and had me thinking about us for the rest of the trip! I love you guys!
