We Came, We Saw, We Conquered!

Bonjour Paris,

Day 1: Arrive in Paris, Rain
Day 2: Rain 
Day 3: Rain
Day4: Rain
Day 5: Rain
Day 6: Depart for London : BEAUTIFUL SUNSHINE!!! ( Go figure)

We arrive in a room the size of a postage stamp with 12 suitcases and no where to move (its like we never left New York)... but who cares because we made it to Paris! Aside from the small room, shitty weather, and our soggy clothes we were able to see some of the most beautiful and historic landmarks in the world over the course of the week. First stop, The Eiffel Tower: it was dazzling. Especially when it sparkled at night. Not to mention the crepes were mouth watering, much like the men that served them, oolala! Next, throughout the week, we took the "Hop On Hop Off Bus Tour" where we were able to see the rest of Paris's attractions: The Louvre (where we met the nastiest women in Paris, She told Samantha she could not enter because she was American...don't worry we made our way through), Chocolate Museum, Wax Museum, Versailles, Perfume Museum, Opera, Notre Dame Cathedral, ARC, Musee d' Orsay, Cruised down the Seine River on the Bateaux Parisiens, and The Montraparnasse Tower 56th Floor Panoramic Visit. Woo were we wiped out! In between we enjoyed Pastries, Paninis, French Breads, Croissants, Pastas, Wines, Beers, Tea, Cafe, Omelets, and even mixed in some Mexican, Pizza and Pina Colada Cocktails (but not the frozen kind, unfortunately). Oh ya and you cant forget the one time dollar menu stop at McDonalds! We ended our trip with a good laugh as we watched the "How To be a Parisian in one Hour" Comedy Show in Central Paris. Overall, it was a great experience and we are thankful for the opportunity. Au Revoir!

Today we Arrive in London: Down pouring rain
Meal: Dominos ( We did get crazy and try some new garlic and herb cream dipping sauce though! Yummm)
Apartment: Cozy, bigger than Paris and not quite a 5 star but perfect for our adventure!

Looking forward to what tomorrow and the rest of the week will hold. London we're ready for ya. Bring it on! Until next time!

XOXO
Samantha and Lucia!!!

Bitter Sweet!

Wow has time flied and reality is setting in. 2 days before we take off to Paris & London and live the most exciting and nerve racking part of our lives. NY has been so good to us. We have made so many new friends ( if you're reading this you're one of them), mentors who have guided us more than we would've ever imagined and showed us the true love and passion behind dance  (Neil Schwartz, Jared Jenkins, and Luam Keflezgy) and those who we have added to the category of "family members" ( APTD, NYPAC, SAMPUL, + More).

We leave September 9th and can not be more thankful for all the love and guidance we have received from all of you ESPECAILLY our family members. The trust and belief you all have in us is remarkable and again we thank you.

We look forward to making each of your proud, to grow as dancers and young ladies, and to finally make a name for ourselves and be known in this industry for who we are. We are excited to give back to others and receive new knowledge and information about the world/ industry we live in.

Please say a little love to the man above and wish us the best on our travels.

Next update will be in Paris!!!

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!
