Paris

We finally made it! After a lot of talk, and no planing, we arrived in Paris! We had a fragrant flight with Ace's cousins at Air India, and showed up in Paris at 11am Parisian time. Immediately, the French were not as rude as they get credit for. The experience of getting from the airport to Paris central introduced us to many friendly French, and even a few mignonnes (cute girls in French). We made a friend from Bolivia, Patricia, who took us around to all the tourist spots. She was really friendly, or she just wanted to smash. She took us on a walking tour of: Notre Dame, the Louvre, some famous park, the Eiffle Tower, Arch de Triumph, and the original Statue of Liberty. So, in our first day it seemed like we saw all of Paris. Then we met with Sam's cosuins, Bita Joon and Reza Joon, who prepared some bagets for us and drove us around some more of Paris and told us the history. We were so tired from the day's adventure that we went to bed at 7. So to everyone emailing Gordy asking if Paris is the "city of lights", we have no idea- it stays sunny untill 10pm at this latitude and we went to bed at 7, you do the Math.
