Hello Lovelies,
It's day one here in gay Paris! I am pretty much a zombie because I have been up since noon Monday, and it's 4:03 on Tuesday here. I'm trying to refrain from sleeping until at least 8 tonight so I can adjust!
The flight was loooong. It was boring and uneventful so that helped nothing. I watched The Other Woman and Noah while I was there though so that was cool. Other than the movies I did nothing really and of course I couldn't fall asleep...
When we finally got to the airport here, we still had an hour and half or so drive to the apartment. The apartment is awesome. Huge, colorful, and fun. My room is really nice (it's pink!!!) and I spent multiple hours unpacking so I'm all settled. Tomorrow we will go to a drugstore to buy shampoo and the sort, but I don't have the energy today (when I say we, I mean my dad who, of course, slept almost the whole flight :( ). Anyway after unpacking and hanging around, we all headed out to lunch at a creperie! Started with savory and finished with sweet, and I must say I think I'm gonna ike it here!
Well that pretty much sums up my first day so far. We are supposedly having a simple dinner in, and I hope to sleep soon. I have a few thoughts on the place though before I go anywhere. First, it's very smokey here. There is a constant wind so you don't really see the smoke but a crazy amount of people smoke everywhere. Second, the drivers here are maniacs and the people walking are just as bad, so it's a constant game of dodge the car. Third, as soon as I got here I realized why tourists come to visit. It is not to see Paris as is, but to see the only the old beautiful parts. Lucky for me, I will be living in a huge apartment in one of the old beautiful parts! The fourth and last thought, is about the Eiffel Tower. OH MY GOD. Everyone tells you how huge and cool it is, but let me say: It's way bigger! Nothing really prepared me from the sheer size of the thing!
Anyway, love you guys always,
Louise
