As I mentioned in the previous post, we are now in Paris soaking up the sights and sounds of the largest city in France. Before I go on, I will apologize for the picture of me in a comforter. As I tried to explain, neither Shaun nor myself packed towels. I really wanted to shower, so I dried off with the Coca-Cola blanket. Is that really so wrong?? haha

Anyways, back to Paris. We arrived at about 10pm, luckily there were still rooms, because the first one we tried was full. Our room overlooks rue de Parme and rue de Clichy (both streets) We really love this room because it has free internet, hot showers, and is close to the subway. Our food has mainly consisted on free hostel breakfasts and sandwiches we make from supplies gathered at the local grocery stores. We could spend more at cafe’s and such, but I dont mind and neither does my (or shauns) wallet.

We didn’t work too hard today. Our day consisted of going to the rail station, the market, Arc de Triumph and the Eiffel Tower at both day and night times. It was really lovely. Make sure you check out the pictures of them both. I should add that we didnt go to the Arc at night, but we did see it from the Tower.

Our next few days are going to consist of exploring the rest of Paris, going to the d-day beaches, Chartres, Mont St-Michel, and a couple other northern french areas. Because I have access to internet right now, you can look for updates every day or night (I am unsure of what time it is back home, -9 hours I think.

I hope everyone is having a good time in warm weather, It has been cold and rainy here.
