lang and i left for the train station around 8 am and walked across the bridge, over the seine.
i think we figured that things would be better after the hotel,
but we had an extremely hard time at the train station.
we didn’t have freeman here to tell us how to use the transportation stystem.
an hour later, we got on the right train and made it to the metro stop by katie’s hotel in the city.
as soon as we walked up the steps, out of the metro, i saw katie.
i was so, so excited.
i screamed for her and she started running to us.
(if you knew katie, you would know that this behavior is more than normal.)
i don’t know why, but when i saw her, i started to cry.
i think it was a combination of the stress/frustration and the excitement of seeing her.
anyways, we snuck our way up to her room and rested for a little while.
then, we went to the local grocery store to grab some french food for lunch.
we bought a baguette, some brie cheese, raspberries, champagne, chocolate desserts, and i got myself a pear.
i think it was the first piece of fruit i’ve had since i’ve been in europe!
i would show you a picture of our lunch in the park,
but i was so hungry that i wasn’t thinking about pictures.
we wanted to spend the afternoon at luxembourg gardens and then the louvre,
but we had such a difficult time trying to buy transportation passes that we missed both things.
instead, we went to check out the eiffel tower.
for dinner, lang and i went across the street and got some mexican at el rancho.
i think i payed about 13 euro for some nachos and water.
paris is so ridiculously expensive. i hate it.
i’m going to be so broke by the time i leave this city.
