Got a late start this morning. Sleep was needed tho! Then we headed to the louvre. We so knew where we were going but decided to follow the big signs intended for tourists. They totally got us lost. But we got back on track and got there. We saw everything we wanted to see. No ancient sumerian money holders anywhere tho :( now we are headed to the ile de la cite. For st chapelle and notre dame. But we got side tracked by an Irish pub. Now drinking Irish beer. An relaxing. Our feet hurt!

Paris! Yay. So glad to be here. Our hotel pa definately a not a 5 star hotel. But its definately a local hotel. So that's cool. We will need to purchase shampoo and body wash and stuff today. We're on the 4th floor. There are 5 rooms or so on each floor. And they all open out to look down over the entrance/lobby. And since we don't have a/c. I have a feeling we are going to get to know our neighbors well. But the bed doesn't suck and the shower has hot water. So no complaining here. Dinner last night was so good. Our waiter kept laughing at pa because we were trying to be polite and use the little french we knew. But neither of us had brushed up on our food vocab. So we knew what we had ordered for our appetizer. But then Lara and I split a sandwich...and we had no idea what was going to be coming. Now we know how to say turkey sandwich in french. It was a really good sandwich. The bartender was into the most random music. So we heard everything from Abba to rap to the Jackson 5.
We slept in this morning. So we're getting a bit of a late start...but not too late. Then we'll head out to the louvre. Then St chappelle. Then notre dame. And finally the pompidou. Then at night we'll go up the arc de triomphe and walk down the champs. Then bed. Good day all in all :)

Exhausted and ready to pass out. Its midnight. We got to Paris safe. Found our train into the city. And our hotel. We didn't get to the hotel until after 9. We headed down the street to a cafe. Where we had an amazing meal and wine. Its been a big day. We're both exhausted. And going to bed. More details. And hopefully a pic or two tomorrow.

Night. :)

So far its been a day filled of sleepiness and line waiting. I'm very sleepy and tired of standing in line. After landing in London we stood in line to get to terminal 5. Then we stood in line for over an hour to get our boarding pass. Then a line for customs. Then a line for security. That's a lot of lines! Good lunch tho.
Now we both need massages. And we are tired. But we'll be in Paris soon. Yay.
