Day 60
Wow day 60!!!!! Seems way longer that I have been away. I'm kinda looking forward to staying with friends in normal houses rather than the hotel thing. Bit over it now. 3 weeks and I will be back home. Started my tour de Paris this morning in beautiful sunshine but alas when I came out of the Museum d'Louvre it had started raining and well just got heavier.
