Arriving in Paris...




Wow what an experience!!!! A 12½ hr/ish plane flight and some of the rudest people I have ever had the missfortune to meet to end up in one of the most AMAZING places on the face of the planet!!!!! The people here haven’t looked at us too weird as if we were from another country (which of course we are). The Metro rides were, well how do I put it …..CROWDED and the smell of FUNK encompased the area around the gentleman standing right next to you for the duration of the ride, and of course he wanted the same stop as the rest of our group. Beware of the closing doors as they will not reopen if an appendage is outside of the carriage. The crepes and the coffe spot by the Eifel tower were AMAZING!!!! 3 euro for a cappucino the size of a midgets fist was probly some of the better coffees I have tasted after 2 or 3 sugars. My wife and I both stopped in our tracks to get a glimpse of the Tower lit up at night. Although I have not found anybody to make me a banana bread pastrami and cottage cheese sandwich, the french Pizza deffinately hit the spot! The bed in the Hotel room is extremely comfortable (like slepping on clouds) if you like that sort of thing after walking around Paris weaving in and out of the Frenchies.
