been there....
I did it, went up to the top of l'Arc de Triomphe... I can't begin to describe how much my body aches right now.... but it was cool, especially when the lights started to flash on l'Tour Effel at 9 pm. It was so cold... it was just cold the whole frigging day today. Fun fun...
tired....
My feet hurt.... we went through the Orsay today and around the city. We had to cap that off with a trip to the top of Notre Dame... owie....
It was hella cold today too...
not even 7 yet... almost dinner time ^_^

These dreams...
... They haunt me across the sea... maybe it was best that I got drunk every night and had restless sleep... my mind keeps going back to it. shake it off, shake it off. a trip a top of l'arc de triomphe might help.

Day 2
We got up bright and early on day 2. By that I meant it was like 10:30 before we got out of the hotel. Naturally I needed my morning café au lait. We found a bakery café place about 2 blocks away. The fun thing is, they have like 8 different spreads lay out on the table. I got myself a baguette, and ran with it. Well actually I ran with the hazelnut spread… just a little bit addicted to it.
We then headed off to and open air market my parents stumbled upon two years ago. Everything is fresh and sweet.
I got a little impatient and had a prawn right there.
We got some oysters, shrimp, fruit, bottle of wine, chunk of cheese, and a rabbit. That was a pretty good lunch.
At the subway I encountered something familiar and confirmed that the French has very questionable taste
more of day 2 to come....

Day 1
The first day was actually pretty uneventful. Wednesday night I finished my rough draft for the English project before I went to bowling. Got pretty upset during cause of random stupid thing, though I did bowl pretty well. Hung out at Denny’s for a little while. Got home at like 1 or 2. Packed, finished up my English assignment, then went to sleep at like 3:30. So… it is with that amount of energy that I got up at 6, and was on the road to the airport at 7 am Thursday morning.
We flew from SFO to Chicago, had half an hour of layover, and then flew over to Paris. Watched a few movies that I would recommend, and didn’t get around to read any of the books I brought. The first leg was pretty cramped…. Stupid small planes. I did get a bit more legroom on the second flight, but I was sitting next to this really big guy. So I didn’t have that much room. I did manage to sleep a bit because I was so entirely exhausted.
After we dragged our luggage, and myself over to the hotel, we had lunch at the wine bar downstairs then we passed out for a bit. We ended up at Champs Elysees that night, had dinner, and milled over to l’Arc de Triomphe where we ran into a whole mass of people on roller blades. I’m guessing they were on some sort of fund raising roll across the city type of thing. And that pretty much marked the end of my first day.

Should
I should be having the best time of my life right now. I've been going places, seeing things, and everything's been very exciting. Then why am I still depressed about what happened last week? That's why I hate being able to communicate so easily. It's just depressing. I really should take my girl friends word to heart. I need to let it go. It's just not worth it. Bleh. Off for breakfast.
Ran Away...
I ran off to Paris for spring break. Currently a little drunk, and am uploading 4 days worth of pictures to yahoo...(be lucky if I get it all tonight...) Will do some sort of summery/commentary type of thing later when I actually feel like it....
clicky here
It's only been roughly 4 days... I'll be here for the rest of the week. Think I'll be home sometime Saturday nite? Something like that. In the past few days I've mastered the metro system and ordering food. Yeah It's all good ^_^
I haven't been on a real vacation for a pretty long while. So this is something different for sure. And I can relax so much more now that I know I got a B for my friggin english class. Wooooooo... good times.
So yeah.... Off for another glass of wine and passing out.
