Thessaloniki!!

The past five days were spent in a city in Greece called Thessaloniki. I am not sure why I have this image in my head but ever since I saw the movie Sisterhood Of The Travelling Pants I thought where we were going was going to look exactly like that and we would get taken to the house we were staying at by camels. As you can guess I got let down and it was nothing like the movie in fact I didn't even see a camel. I went with three girls one of which was from Greece so we got to meet some of her friends and family. It wasn't my favourite city I have visited but it was neat to experience a city and way of life through another person's eyes. I have never gone on a trip with people I hardly new and I was proud of myself for going and experiencing something outside my comfort zone. I have made new friends out of this experience and got to eat some really really really great food. I find each time I challenge myself to take on new experiences I always learn something new about myself just like Megan did this weekend.

A Weekend In Paris!

This past weekend I got to join the family in Paris. They were invited to a friends 40th birthday party on the Saturday so they decided to make a whole weekend out of it. We left Friday at 3:30 and arrive in Paris at 8:30 pm. We didn't have to be at the party until later in the afternoon on Saturday so we got into the city centre for breakfast at 9:20 am and then we had the rest of the day to walk around and enjoy the beautiful city . I found Paris to be amazing. I had never been to a city that was so elegant. There wasn't one particular thing I loved most about Paris because I loved everything.  If you have never been to Paris, I suggest you save up and make a trip.

I can now scratch off #15 on my bucket list - See the Eiffel Tower!

Schnitzel Gone Wrong

I had to spend the entire night with the boys because Ivetta and Joachim were out and weren't returning until the next morning. My first task of the night was to make Schnitzel which looked easy except when it comes to me and cooking I make the simple things the most difficult. When I looked in the fridge I grabbed the only package in the fridge that looked like meat and started preparing it well first off it smelt like fish and was a lot bigger than what i've seen. It was a lot more difficult to prepare than Ivetta said. Typical me I just keep making it. When the boys come and sit down for dinner they tell me it looks good until they eat it and say " this is fish". They ended up not eating it and just had french fries for dinner . My first Schnitzel experience didn't go well but hey I just have to look on the bright side .... it's a mistake I will not make again!

The boys tend to get up pretty early but they didn't get up tell about 9 this morning and I was woken up by them both cleaning and vacuuming their rooms .... just like I asked them to do the night before. It is amazing how kids do things just so they can watch the television. I think it's safe to say my first entire night with the boys was a success minus the dinner part.
