We finally got some sun this weekend! Hélène and Arnaud came on Friday to go to the Red Hot Chili Peppers concert (or as they’re called here “Les Red Hot”). On Saturday, we did a bit of girl shopping while the boys went grocery shopping. This is me and Hélène waiting at the streetcar stop at Porte Didot.

Today we took Patrice and Elodie to Ikea because they’re moving from a studio to an appartment soon, and they needed some reasonably priced furniture choices. Surprisingly, me and Simon came out spending less than 30 euros! That’s a record. After, it started to rain (boo) and we went straight to see the musical “Le Roi Soleil” (The Sun King) about one of the French Louis kings (not the one married to Marie Antoinette). It was a birthday gift from Fanny and her mom. Fanny was supposed to come with me, but work got in the way It was pretty good…it was the last ever performance too! The only annoying thing was that everyone wouldn’t stop taking pictures throughout, so it was like flash flash flash flash flash. Took me a while for my eyes to get used to that. Weird ambiance for a musical too (people would start screaming when a song would start like at a concert). I don’t know if that was how it was like at the other performances or if it was just because it was the last one. Anyways, all in all it was good. Loved the costumes! And a handful of the songs too. In my opinion, Christophe Mae was the life of the show. So that’s the end of my busy weekend. Tomorrow, my parents in Paris! Yay!
