Je voudre un verre de vin...





This has been one of the most interesting trips... I finally recieved my bag from the airport today... of course mine got loss. But even in a shirt I had worn for three days, its hard to find things to complain about in Paris. I will complaign about the french key board I'm dealing with as I write this. They have moved the "a" and the "m" and almost everything else but those two are giving me a rough time.

The hostel is something we had to wrap our heads around. Needless to say, we have not spent much time in the room and there isn't a spa. The bathroom is a door down and the room is very small with a shower on the left side and beds on the right (in one room.) We have decided that Brie spotted one of the only upsides, Harry Potter stairs that go on forever!

Today was our first full day and it was perfect. First we had a tour of the Louvre in "english"; I put it in quotes because the man was impossible to understand. None the less, it was a blast and trè informative. After playing princess in the halls of the palace, we had lunch over looking the glass pyramids and it was one of the best meals of my life. Next, we walked the gardens of Tullerie and walked the length of champ-elessè to the Arche de Triumph. Dre insisted on climbing it. We all had our doubts, but it was so worth it! (and once I figure out how, I will post pics.) We ended the day with shopping at the suppermarche and had a picnic under the twinkle of the Eiffle Tower. We have not stopped drinking wine since we got here, mostly to numb the sore calfs and feet, but also because it is such good wine, even the cheap ones. Its really late here and tomorrow we are riding bikes, so au'revoir pour cette soir! (goodbye for tonight)
