Home Sweet Home




Day 1 - Ryan and I arrived in Paris at midday today. We learned a very valuable lesson right off the bat; suck it up and pay for the taxi from the airport. While you can do the subway/trains, its a huge hassle with a bunch of luggage. We emerged from the subway, and found the hotel after a couple of wrong turns (oh, it looks so easy on the map)... We checked in to our broom closet... er, room and we took off for a quick walk and some dinner. We sampled some of the fine McDonald's cuisine just down the street. I think we're too tired to attempt ordering a meal, so we settled with "Le Big Mac, Frites, and a soda (with no ice)."

Anyways, I appologize if this post is incoherent, I've been up for about 27 hours now. I'm going to get some sleep and start in on the sites tomorrow!

The two pictures I'm including are of our tiny little room. The beds look next to each other, but there is a whole 6 inches between them! The other picture is a shot down the street in front of our hotel.
