So yesterday, given that we had a free weekend and it was predicted to be GORGEOUS, we decided to do the Loire a Velo! This is a program where you rent a bike for a day (or I guess as many days as you wanted) and ride to the Chateaux in the Touraine Valley! I forgot my camera, as usual, and my friends haven't posted their pics yet so you all get some nice pics from google in order to picture us being Lance Armstrong.
It did look the same, so just pretend that I'm in the front there leading the pack!
We rode to Villandry. This castle is known for their gardens so we only wanted to see that part, that way we could stay outside. We brought a picnic lunch too! We walked around the gardens for about an hour, and then continued. We planned to go to Usse, the castle that the Sleeping Beauty castle is modeled off of, but that was far and we were already tired. So we decided to go to a town about 6 miles away called Langeais. It was such a cute town. We walked around a little, and then headed back.
All in all, we were out and about for EIGHT HOURS. That is ALOT of biking. Not only does my heiny hurt, BUT IM SUNBURNED. I look like a little lobster, who has very funny tan lines. But when it turns to tan I will DEFINITLEY NOT be complaining :)
However, going to the gym this morning was a little hard. I did it but I skipped the bike :P
ANYWAY, so last night i come home, make myself a little pasta, have a well balanced meal, chocolate, and then lay down thinking I would prob get up in a few to go watch a movie with my friends. HAHAHAHAHAHA. No, I was down. I couldn't move, I was paralyzed from 730 PM Until 930. At 930, I was falling asleep... I was exhausted... and decided I could let myself be SUPER lame for one night and maybe go to bed early.
Well, this is where the adventure began. My WONDERFUL upstairs neighbor, Sophie, Beatrice's best friend since gradeschool, decided to go out of town, leaving her 17 year old daughter unsupervisered. And this little brat took advantage of that and threw a party for her little friends. I was so exhausted, just wanting sleep, but they were playing music and SLAMMING doors, going up and down the apartment stairs, for hOURS. Oh, and they were all WASTED, so they were screaming and yelling and clapping, and WHATEVER. OK, I was 17 only 3 years ago, so I feel old saying this, but I was NOT OK WITH IT. I called my friend Catherine, and while on the phone with her I opened the door to look at the hall. Two boys saw me and thought I was calling the police... well I was about to so they should be scared. They tried to talk to me but I slammed the door and locked it... not gonna talk to drunk boys when I'm home alone. They slipped a note that said "please! Bea is ok with the party! Would you like us to cut the music"... so they turned the music down... but it was STILL loud. Hours later, still awake from their noise, I called the cops. Of course, being clearly not French, I was not worthy of respect from the cops. I ended up having to call a second time, didn't understand what he said, and was just like UGH.
Well the party went on until 5 AM. I fell asleep at 5AM and was woken up at 9AM from them cleaning up before their mom came home.
I was tempted to tell them to clean all they wanted... given that I called the cops, I feel obligated to share that with Bea, hence the mom will find out...
I blasted country music all morning to help them with their hangovers and to teach them to respect America.
And then I heard the mom yelling at the daughter.
DONT CARE
