Paris day 1

So today was my first real day in Paris. It was pretty laid back, but so far Paris is cool (but not literally because it is ANYTHING but cool here). We slept in until about 11am (which is actually only 6am at home :-P), had showers and then headed out. We spent most of the day wandering around the city, window shopping and such. Surprisingly, Graham is the only person that bought anything: a rugby jersey. Most of the stores were designer stores that were SOOO expensive, but fun to look at :-). We spent some time laying in the shade in random parks that we found, including the one by the Louvre (which isn't open on Tuesday's) where we cooled off by putting our feet in the water of the pond. We've pretty much been eating baguettes and pasteries: yummy but probably not all that healthy.

My favorite part of Paris so far is people watching, it's great! And I love evesdropping on people to hear what language they're speaking to see if I can understand. So far I'm pretty impressed with my french skills. My spanish definately needs some work though :-P.

Anyways, nothing to exciting to report on today. I'm just trying to waste my hour on the internet because someone stole my ticket, so if I don't use it all now I won't be able to finish it up. Stupid guy next to me... grrrr...

Tomorrow's itinerary will probably be much fuller than today. First stop: The Louvre :-). I'm still not sure it's really sunk in that I'm actually here... all very surreal.

Hope to hear from you soon!

P.S. I changed my properties so you don't have to register to leave a comment (I think... it's all in french, so a little confusing). Now noone has an excuse for not leaving me a comment :-P
