Paris and the Lourve
This is just to prove that we were there...but there will be better more inspired pictures later in the trip.Hello to whomever may get this...
I just wanted to send a quick update and let you know where I am at. We just arrived in Cork, Ireland to learn how the Irish celebrate St. Patty's Day. I am sure it should be quite interesting. It was an interesting trip here, we realized last night ~6pm that we hadn't looked into getting to the airport this morning at 5:15am and then found out that the tube station doesn't run that early. Well it was an evening of moving back and forth and realizing that we were too late to find the easist way there...so we bit the bullet and paid for a cab (85 GPB yikes!), versus the other optinon which was leaving for the airport last night and sleeping there... Anyway we made it here passports and money intact. We got off the plane and just kept our packs on and wandered about through Cork's shopping district, getting quite a few looks as we went. There is no denying that we are not from around here, with or without our backpacks. As of now we are staying here for two nights and then back to London before we head
Paris and the Lourve
This is just to prove that we were there...but there will be better more inspired pictures later in the trip. to Paris. We are going to try and change that though, possibly staying in Ireland until we head back to Paris.
I was in London for 2.5 days. I arrived there alone until the following evening when the rest of the group came. At first I was nervous about it all, but those fears are gone, one just has to look confident and be aware. The hostel experience was an interesting first night (mom and dad- I should have brought ear plugs). But I guess those loud obnoxious intoxicated people and snoring foreigners will just have to become the norm. During the day though we walked about, got used to the tube system and saw the sights. London is an expensive city though, so we didn't do much besides walk around and take photos of the Big Ben, Buckingham Palace and Picadilly Circus. And it is chilly here...wet cold here, down to the bone.
So we are off to enjoy the sights of the Irish this week...it should be one to remember. We only have three beds for tonight, for four of us, so hopefully we'll figure something out😊.
I will write and hopefully put up pictures
I survived it
Here is proof of my first public baño experience in Paris...it was complicated at first but I pulled through. soon.
