fete de la music

ya so its Tonys first actual post and its on a French keyboard so there may be some typos. we got into Paris and went to our host place who happened to be a big time carny folk. He was really cool and there were like five shirtless guys in the room and they were talking about the brazilans who got drunk the night before and walked to the eiffel tower and slept underneath it. already i thought this was gonna be an adventure. they said that saturday was going to be a huge party celebrating summer solstice and there will be lots of great music.little did we know the adventure in front of us. we went to this park right by notre dame which was gorgeous. these guys had all sorts of weird things to play with juggling things and other weird things. stayed there for a while and there were like dancers that were busting out the weirdest moves, travis i totally thought of you, he was doing backflips and handstands like that guy on youtube. then we started to go walk around and watch the bands and it was so loud the had percussion bands right next to cheesey american 70s cover bands. we started with the beers but i have to compalain about the beer in france there are like two brands and the expensive and never enough. but a small price to pay for the things to see in the country. so kel me and about six other couch surfers go sit by the riveria next to notre dame and start talking and drinking and doing juggling and magic tricks, pretty inteesting crowd, they were very impressed with my juggling, and kel the weirdo she is busted out a sweet magic trick that everybody loved and blew my mind. i met this guy named charlie thats what i called him but he had a very french name. he was into outdoor sports and liftin and boozin so we instantly got along. we got the biggest kick out of yelling FUCK OFF in a french accient to the tour boats going by. after four or five hours of that we got bored and me kel and charlie went to go for adventures; when we went up to the main street we were amazed to see that the already busy street had tripled. so i grabed kel and went for it. there was so much going on. caos charlie had a great time we went into gas station and tried to buy more beer but i guess they were tring to close and we litterally grabing me and making me check out when i was not ready.
peeing in this city is crazy to i already had to pee in an ally once but kel would not go for it; so you have to basically run into these shops not listining to no one and find it e got kicked out of a couple. after going through the crowed streets for a couple of hours we went back to ever one eles where we saw that each side of the river had developed a great sense of pride for there side and we yelling at the other side and throwing bottles at the other one. the we saw two naked bodies on the other side and they jumped in that started something and soon everyone was doing it, our host told me that the water was very dirty and it would be a bad idea for us to do it. after that we realized it was about four and being the responsible people we are we decided to go home and kel charlie and i left everyone and went on a new adventure.
we got on one subway and parted ways with charlie -who told me that he was going to design the t shirt for my next fight (he is a graphic designer) me and kel soon realized that there were no more trains and had to ind anther way. after about twenty min of hailing trying to get a cab we decided to walk it whic turned out to be about 3 miles. by the time we got home the sun was coming up and it was definitlly time for bed.
today was interesting all we accomplised was laundry, in paris france i know. but we said our goodbyes to everyone and went to the train station but the train was full so we will take the train to switzerland tomorrow; so we get one more day to check out some cool tourist traps tomorrow we hit the king of frances castle. expensive but worth it. hope all is well with everyone thanks for that link dad that is gonna be really good; i think that means you should get me a new x box so i can play it eh.

stupid delete key. I expect better from you tony! Dirty water...phhhsh, water's water. I agree about the beers in Paris though, what a pain in the arse to get drunk there. Sounds like things are going awesome, have fun! And post more too.
