Out of Spain, into Paris


Bonjour Paris!

We are here at last! Fashion capital of the world and our last city! Our hostel is located in a very great neighborhood right in the center of Paris. It's called Absolute Paris. We are super close to everything and our room has a great view of the Eiffel tower...Okay, it's not a full blown view of the tower but we can still see half of the top (especially at night when they turn on the glittery lights and have that weird spot light shining back and forth).

I am currently sitting on some rugged hostel steps, hoping not to get tetnus from the nails that are sticking out. This place says it has wireless but it only extends to the second floor. We are on the 5th floor...in the attic. I guess you gotta sacrfice some comfort when you're on a student budget. Nevertheless, our room is quite interesting. It reminds me of the room from Ratatouille, the movie with the cooking rat. Kinda ghetto, kinda cute, but it works and we do love it!

We met up with Chris and Aivi and did some sight seeing and shopping. We ended the night with a leisurely dinner at the OLDEST restaurant in Paris called Le Procope (opened since 1686). The restaurant was recommended by one of Christine's friends who used to live in Paris with her mother. I loved it! My favorite dish was les escargots. Tres bien!


Demain, nous allons visiter le Louvre. Au revoir!
