we all woke up late skipping the expensive non refundable versaille bike tour and paying a shitload of money buying a train package to take us there and grant us admission there. versaille is the palace of all palaces and not covered with paintings of jesus everywhere. i was impressed. my parents then got friendly with a couple they met that also grew up in queens in nyc. it was hot as hell today. my jeans started to stick to me and felt more like leggings. we ate a super late lunch that was expensive but still not as bad as england. our tiny awful salad had pate on the side so i just didnt eat it because i was so fricken hungry. i wish soda here wasnt a rip off and i wish they used ... read more

took the eurostar this morning to paris. the french train attendents were your sterotype french assholes. i do have to say though that it is fast and easy boarding and getting off the train. once we arrived in paris, there wasnt a passport check or anything. kinda sucked because i wanted to get my passport stamped. we got picked up by this good looking french guy. i used what little french i knew to track him down. he took us to our apartment we rented which is really nice. we then went to get a late lunch early dinner which no one does in europe but we were hungry. got a large salad which was pretty good. the waiter said he knew no english which wasnt a problem because we just pointed on the menu. after ... read more

Well, we started out our trip by almost missing our plane out of San Diego! Our tickets said boarding was at 7:00, but they’d moved it up to 6:40. After waiting in line at check-in for almost an hour, and then waiting about 15 to 20 minutes to clear security, we figured we’d have time to grab some breakfast to go at McDonalds. Jesse & Erin waited in line while Margaret went ahead. Food and drinks had just arrived when Margaret came around the corner saying “We’ve gotta’ go, NOW”. She’d just gone to gate and found they’d finished boarding and were at last call! Running down the concourse with three large Diet Cokes is not the easiest of things, but we made it and they closed the door to the aircraft behind us. Phew! Well, ... read more

ARGH! Everyone in Paris smokes!!!! Ok so not everyone, but I’d say every second person does! Not only do they smoke outside, they smoke inside, in cafes, restaurants, shops, everywhere!!! Being asthmatic and still sick it was so annoying! Ok…back to Paris. Well Paris is definitely a beautiful city. Lots of pretty buildings, parks and statues. Very busy and chaotic. I wouldn’t rate it the most friendliest. We had a morning city tour covering the main sites - Notre Dame, Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, Opera, the Louvre and Champs Elysees. Eiffel Tower was a highlight. I can’t believe how big it is. I knew it was big but its size really blew me away. Everyone went nuts taking photos of it and with it. We were just like Japanese tourists. With the city tour over ... read more
