The Yangs in Paris

Sorry but I don't have all the pictures we took of us together in Paris but here's what I have.
So the first picture was taken when my family was exploring the Louvre, while I was at school... and the very LAST picture was taken the day they arrived. I accidently posted them all backwards.



Mer and Mom at the Louvre. I believe they got lost on their way back to the hotel.

Dad and Mer in the Egyptian exhibition in the Louvre. Now why did they decide to take a picture by giant feet? well, because dad has this special talent: he draws very good feet :) No joke. It's the only thing he can draw. In the Hotel Littre.
My Monsieur, Me and my Madame.
It's one big happy Japanese-Korean-French FAMILY!!! We should be called the Courrangs (Courreges + Yangs). My two favorite families from different parts of the world finally meet over a glass of champagne, pringles, nuts and some kind of weird chocolate/fruit/mystery brownies. Madame kept on offering her mystery brownies to Mer and I. I felt sorry for Mer because she was sitting right next to Madame so she ended up eating THREE mystery brownies, I snuck out with eating only two. They were.. interesting. My Madame and Monsieur were very happy with their Hawaii goodies that my parents brought from home :) No, this isn't L'arc de Triomph, it's just outside of the Louvre... I guess the sun was in Mer's eyes.
Mom and Mer by the Pyamids where I later met up with them. Open those eyes Mer.
Dad looks quite content :)

We walked through the organic open market by my house. Here's a picture of the different assortments of cheeses.
Le poulet. Yumm? eh.

Mer and I down a side street.
Mom and Dad down the same side street.


Mont Saint MichelA cute bright colored toy store by their hotel. I think "Mille Fetes" translates into "A thousand parties."
Mom looking around at the open market.
Aw, gee golly she looks happy :)
But Mer and I look like we're on a mission in the open market.



Dad didn't want to sit next to mom in the picture.... (this is in the Abbey at Mont Saint Michelle)
but he finally gave in.
At Mont st. Michelle. Wicked view.
I told dad to strike a pose like he was in prison.. but...er.. he did this... (?)
Mom and I on the right walking down Mont Saint Michelle... there are gifts shops left and right all the way down.




At the top of the Abbey.

In the Abbey court yard.



Before arriving at Mont St. Michelle we had lunch with our tour at a restraunt that over looked the mountain.
Walking up the MANY steps to the Abbey at the very top.
Mer and Mom needed to rest before reaching the top.
FINALLY AT THE TOP!!!
The wind was so strong at the top that it blew our heads to the right. ;-)






A small nap after walking around Paris.
Dad brushing up on his French History before going to bed.
6:00 am in the morning on our way to meet the tour bus for Mont St. Michelle.

It was a 4 hour bus ride to Mont Saint Michelle.

At the gardens in Versailles. This was the first time that I got to see the gardens too even though it was my 3rd time going to Versailles. The other times I had visited it was cloudy and rainy. THis time the weather couldn't have been better.

The hall of mirrors. This was also my first time seeing the WHOLE Hall of Mirrors because before it was always under construction so I saw about three mirrors.
The Versaille Gardens

In the Notre Dame. Dad's not supposed to use flash. tisk tisk.
Mer's favorite store with Le Petit Prince stuff galore!!
Our Seine River cruise. This bridge is very popular.. everyone picnics on it because it's the only one that cars don't pass over.
On the Seine boat cruise with the sparking Eiffel tower in the back.

The Luxembourg Gardens
