Paris at last! We learned something very important about travelling in this city. You have to make sure that you have a hostel picked out and reserved before you get to the city. We got to Paris yesterday around 5 in the evening and had quite a bit of trouble finding someone to give us directions to a hostel. Nathan finally scored and was able to get clear directions to a hostel. Turns out they only had room for one night and they ended up putting Josh and Nathan in one room and me in another room with a family that I think was from Spain.
My allergies were bothering me a little bit, so I was scared about snoring loudly and making the other people in the room uncomfortable with my loud American behaviors, but after hearing 3 of the 5 members of that family snoring louder than I, I was able to relax and drop off to sleep. This morning I woke up about 4:30 AM and wasn’t able to get to sleep until 6:30 or so. We were planning on having breakfast at 7:00, so this wasn’t much use to me.
Actually, apparently I’m the only one having breakfast today, as it is 8:45 AM and Nathan and Josh haven’t come down yet…Maybe I should go wake them up…
Anyways, the plan for today is to reserve tickets for the high speed train to Rome on Sunday, visit the Louvre, go have lunch in the Latin Quarter, check out the Eiffel Tower, and hopefully hit as many landmarks as possible on our way back to the other hostel.
I guess that’s all for now…I’m going to go wake up the boys and get them started
