Paris!


Well, today was our first day in Paris! We rode the "Chunnel" in from London (it took about 2.5 hours) and arrived here at about 12:45. The Chunnel was interesting. There was a lot more motion than I expected there to be, and we rode backwards, which I was convinced was going to make Jeremy SO SICK. Fortunately, it didn't. He was fine. We made it to Paris unscathed.

In Paris, we had to figure out the purchasing of railway tickets, which is always fun...especially in a different language. Finally we figured out that we needed to buy "Visite Paris" which is basically an all-access pass to all of the modes of transportation available within the city.

After we made it back to our AMAZING apartment in the 10th arrondissement, we headed out. We ate lunch, bought groceries, deposited them at the apartment, and then hit the streets. We ended up seeing Les Invalides, the Eiffel Tower, l'Arc de Triomphe, and basically everything else in that general vicinity that we should have seen. It was awesome!

After we saw all the sights, we came back to the apartment, then left for dinner. We ate at this cute little pizzeria that's on the corner of our streets and had a lovely time. It's kindof Italian, but it was still awesome for being in Paris.

So now, it appears that Jeremy is going to bed. I'm sorry that this post is so choppy, but I've been mid-conversation with CJ the whole time. I'll post again later!
