First Pic
This was my first picture of the trip. I was just excited to be there and took a picture of a random building. Paris has been great! I got here at 11am yesterday and walked around (with my huge backpack) for 5 hours until Bret came in. My shoulders hate me. So to ease the pain Bret and I figured we go to a local bar and have a drink. Well we met three french guys who quickly became friends. They knew very little english but some italian. So, with our spanish we could kinda communicate. We sat and watched a soccer (i'm sorry... football) match. It was the bartenders home team. Thank God they won b/c I think he would have closed the pub had they lost. It was fun to watch since they were so into it. After that they taught us a very complicated dice game (especially since we couldnt really talk to each other). No money involved just drinking. So, needless to say. We had a good time. Today, we walked all around Paris again. It is a beautiful place. The people I have experienced are all very friendly. Which is somewhat surprising from what I have heard from other travelers. People have sat there and talked to me for a while in French. I just smile and nod and
Eiffel Tower #5
I can't believe that some of the French wanted to tear this tower down after the World's Fair. try to talk with the very little French I know. They are amused and then start talking english. Most of the people here know english. Well my time is up on the computer. So, I must go. We are on to Bruges tomorrow. I cant put pictures up on this computer. But I will as soon as possible. Ourvouy! (no idea how to spell it?!?)
