typical tourists. who haven't showered in a few days. oops.
7:30- Use internal clock and get up with sun. Get ready in 10 minutes and eat long breakfast. Decide metro is far to easy, so we opt to urban hike Paris instead.

9:00- Race elevator up Eiffel Tower. Beat it no problem.

12:00- Start hike to Louvre. We would have swam the Seine, if we still had our swimsuits.

13:00- Re-fuel bodies with salmon sandwiches (or panini, or bocadillo, depending on your roots).

14:30- Battle tourists to get glimpse of Venus de Milo and the Mona Lisa, only leaving a few casualties.

15:30- Prefer looking at French statues... in the unpopular area of the Louvre. Reuse the "I spot titties!" joke we heard earlier from a fat American passing a topless beach on the Riviera.

17:00- Urban hiked to Notre Dame to please grandmothers. Said a few words for world peace inside.

18:00- Walked to Pantheon because we had the time.

19:00- Pedestrian-friendly Rue de Mouffeltard. Restocked supplies for upcoming days including some stinky cheese and wine.

20:00- Circled Montparnesse area. Twice. Or maybe three times. Ate well-deserved crepe.

21:00- Walked back to hostel, fully prepared to write book about seeing
