#ramennnnnn

It's like the sky knew just what I needed today. It rained so much this morning. And the lightning and thunder. Oh my god. So frightening but so cool. We went up to the top of the Eiffel Tower while it was pouring and we saw a bolt come down. It was pretty cool. The view was nice. At first everything below us looked really fake, like the models I build, then it looked more real. Then we were trying to go back down to the bottom, except the elevators had gone all weird in the wind and rain so the lines were really long and crowded. So we took the almost 800 steps down. But the rain pretty much put me in a good mood. Then it stopped and my mood took a nose dive. After we left the Tower, we went over to the Basilica and climbed like 300 stairs to the top of the dome. It was worth the climb. I just know I'm gonna hate myself tomorrow for all those stairs. Then we went back to the apartment we're staying at and had some chicken for dinner. And bread. We've had so much bread. The bread here is really good. Back home when bakeries say they're making French bread, they use the same basic starter as all the other bread they make (sourdough) and its never as sweet as real French bread. I could just sit here and eat French baguettes all day. They're really cheap, only about 1 euro usually. You just go in and ask for un baguette and they have a whole stack behind the counter that never ends because they keep bringing out more and they hand you one and you give them your coin and you leave.The bread is so good. Have i mentioned that yet? Well anyways, it rained a bit after dinner so that was good, I felt a little better. Coming home to a few rushed messages from Adele was nice too. I miss talking to her until my dad yells at me to go to bed. Now there is only Doctor Who to distract me from the war inside my mind. All I want is her. I really miss her. We're going to hang out hopefully on the 23rd, but I don't want to wait until then. I want to see her now. At this very moment. I have one more week in Paris. Just one. I don't want to wait that long. I really don't. I miss Adele. I miss my bed. I miss all my stuffed animals. I miss my dog. I miss everything about home. And I am really craving some quality ramen.
