Last week I posted pictures of the Cathédral St.-Gatien that's on my street, and here are some other things that are on my street:

This is a little park that I pass on my way to school.

This is a closer look at the sign you can see at the park entrance!

This is the entrance to the Musée des Beaux-Arts.

It’s very close to the cathedral.

There is a huge tree inside the garden of the Musée des Beaux-Arts:

These pictures were taken inside the garden of the Musée des Beaux-Arts. I went there last Sunday; it was so quiet and peaceful:

The center of the garden was very neat and orderly, but the perimeter of that garden was very lush and much wilder.

I immediately thought of the book The Secret Garden, which I read when I was little, when I saw this tiny door hidden in this huge stone wall.

This is the entrance to the museum (I haven’t gone there yet), and there are lemon trees lining the front of the building.

This is the music school on my street which provides nice music for the entire neighborhood! It’s actually really good (I haven’t heard any terrible tuba playing or anything like you might imagine!) it’s usually jazz or classical ensembles practicing.

Christian is in Texas now, since Jacob is getting ready to come to France. My mom has been sending me detailed emails about what all he's doing. From what I've gathered, he lives like king of the castle in Texas. Here are some pictures she sent me ... what do you think?!?

This is the soccer jersey that my friend Lu's mom brought Christian from Argentina. Dustin (my brother), the soccer enthusiast, has a matching jersey. Christian is SO proud of this jersey.



Lu -- Please show your mom this picture! She made this uncle-nephew moment possible!



Mom arranged to borrow a bike for Christian from one of her friends, so Christian has been riding around the neighborhood lakes with Haley (my sister).








Christian -- I like your new haircut!

I MISS YOU!










I think Jacob and Christian had a fun time together without me -- I hear they watched lots of Rocky movies... I just don't have pictures for the blog to prove it!

I went to the pharmacy yesterday and got some more medicine. It was the same pharmacist, and she recognized me from Saturday. She gave me some medicine, and I'm feeling much better today. Thank goodness, because...

Jacob gets here in 2 days!
