Paris, France: Part I









Bonjour!

Paris has been quite interesting so far. It didnt take us only one train transfer to get to Paris like we thought, but FOUR train transfers! Then we couldnt find our hotel therefore I had to walk around for about an hour and a half with my 30 lb. backpack on. It was pure torture!

Yesterday when we FINALLY found our hotel we were pleasantly suprised and became very fond of the location...only a couple blocks from Starbucks. Needless to say, Jessica was thrilled!

Today was definitely better than our day of a mess yesterday. We visited the Orsay Museum in the morning and then rode a train to Versaille. In Versaille we visited the main Chateau and Marie Antoinettes house. We were able to view the beautiful gardens and were amazed at how beautiful Versaille is and probably was back in the day. It was a long day but well worth all the walking and sightseeing. I cant wait to show all of you my pictures!

Tomorrow will be fun packed as well. On the agenda: the Lourve, the Champs-Elysees, the Arc dè Triompe, and of course the Eiffel Tower.

Talk to you then!
