Well, I spent three days in Paris. No big deal. But for some reason I didn't really go to the more famous of the landmarks and tourist places while I was there. Instead, I went to the Montmartre where the Sacre Coeur is, and the Place du Luxembourg, and Notre Dame, and l'Hôtel de Ville. I saw everything but l'Arc du Triomphe, but that was because we took a barge ride along the Seine River the last evening that we were there. I was going to go to the Catacombs of Paris, but the line was too long to get there before lunch, so we decided to go to the Place du Luxembourg instead.
The hotel that we stayed at was rather nice, but also quite old. It didn't have internet...except if you payed for it, so I was going to pay the last day that I was there, but all they had was a card for 10 hours for 10 euros, so I decided it wasn't worth it. I would be leaving the next day anyways so, why would I need 10 hours worth?
I like to say that I was a metro savant after Paris because that's what we used to get around the city. But I had a good time figuring it out, so that was good.
The food is good. They don't just serve tiny portions of gourmet food for a large price as people may think. They fill you up for about ten euros. So it's not bad. The only thing is the drinks cost kind of a lot. One coke about 12 oz costs about 4 euros. Oh well. They gave us 35 euros. Win.
