Tearin up Paris

Paris was awesome, it was super buisy and I believe I saw all the important sights. 5 in the morning as I was about to leave for the Paris train I got e-mail from my fiend Alison. It had contact info for our high school friends that were living in Paris Claire and Chris Natale’s. I sent then both a message. Then raced off for the train. I was one minute late for the train in Damport and two minutes late for the train in Saint Peters. Luckily there was another train leaving at 6:30 that would arrive at 7:00 in Brussels Midi. My TGV left at 7:10 for Paris Nord. I met Marc at the train station and the adventure began. We found a cheap but nice hotel near the Bastille and dropped off our stuff. We then checked e-mail and contacted his friends. Luckily Claire had e-mailed me back. It was especially lucky because the e-mail I had sent didn’t go to her but a work mate who forwarded it to her. Amazing and she wanted to meet us at the Pantheon at 6:45. Marc’s French girls that he had met while in New Zealand were to meet us at 8:45. We then went sight seeing and saw the Luve the Plastecondorde the Arc de Triumph and the Champsilyse. It was tiring so we went home for a nap and then went out to meet our friends.
