Last day before heading back home!!!

   Hi guys!!! How was your day everyone?? Did you have the day that you hoped to have? Today was our last day in Europe. I’m sad to be leaving because we didn’t get to do all the things we had wanted to do, but I’m also looking forward to being in the comfort of our home and family.  Above is our daily mirror selfie.  Then we went to breakfast at a local restaurant. We had ginger shots because some of the ah-yi’s don’t feel super well. It was very spicy, but I liked it! This was my drink- a golden latte which had tumeric, cardamom, and oat milk. It was surprisingly delicious!  And my avocado toast with cream cheese and two poached eggs. It was pretty good but also super big, so I was too full after I finished. And on the way we go to explore Brussels! We stopped at a chocolate shop. Belgium is known for its chocolate. Or it’s one of the things that it is known for. And there are chocolate stores everywheeeereeee. Rachel and Jen Ah-Yi bought two hot chocolates to drink while we walked.

Last Day in Paris & back to Brussels

Image
Hi guys!! I miss you all too!!  I loved your audio message. Leona, what did you and Jacob order from Jason’s Deli? What was your favorite decoration at the Forum? Also, how in the world do you know all that stuff about the Mona Lisa, Jacob?  Above is a picture of Hao Ah-Yi and I at lunch. We stayed around our airbnb and picked up some last minute items. And then we finally made it to this ramen shop. It was always packed with a veeeerry long line whenever we walked by it. It was delicious! They had Japanese street sounds playing over the speakers and the decorations really made it feel like we were in Japan.  This was my soup and noodles, it was a little spicy and very creamy broth.  We walked around the neighborhood and I took this picture to remember how beautiful the city is.  Then we went to visit a library that I had wanted to go to. It’s called the Mazarine Library.  Inside there are some more statues, or really this is called a bust. It looks like a baby’s face. But it made me l

Monday Funday!

Hi guys!!! Sorry, I’m a day behind on my posts. (We’re in Brussels, Belgium right now, but this post is about yesterday)  Monday was a very busy day. We were out from 11am until very late at night. Basically, we went to the Louvre, walked around and went shopping, then had a fancy dinner, and then went to the Eiffel Tower very late at night. For the long version, please keep reading. I started the day with some hot English Breakfast tea at the Airbnb. This is the view from our kitchen while I waited for my water to boil. I love looking out at the buildings and seeing the sky.  Then we took our daily mirror picture with all four of us. We have really enjoyed the fashion here in Paris and getting to dress up each day.  Here we are crossing the Seine River. It was a partly cloudy and drizzly day, but still very beautiful!! And then we got to the Louvre Museum, which is a very old and very big building. With a glass pyramid. Inside is a very very large museum. We didn’t even get to explore

Sunday!

Hi guys!! How was church with daddy this morning? And did you have fun at Evan’s birthday party? What was your favorite part of the day, Jacob? What was your favorite part of the day, Leona? And daddy? Did you guys eat anything yummy?  This morning, we got up a bit late because we’re all still struggling with jet lag. And Rachel Ah-Yi and I stayed up late chatting. . This is our daily mirror selfie! It’s been drizzling a lot today, so we had to dress warmly.  We wanted to go to a pastry shop but most places were closed today. So we stopped at a restaurant and had this meal. This salad was all I ate all day (and right now it’s 7pm and we haven’t eaten dinner yet. I’m a little hangry heh heh).  After we ate, we walked to a sculpture museum, Musee Rodin. The sculptor that it is named after is known as the modern founder of sculpture. Most of the sculptures inside were made by him from when he lived in the late 1800s and early 1900s.  We felt silly, so we took pictures while posing with so
