Ibis Paris Nanterre

... on the way.

I watch as we leave the city behind and head into the suburbs. The train stops now and then at a station. I stay awake for the whole trip. When I come out of the station, I’m a little disoriented but I find a large map and figured out the general way I should go. I follow a crowd out of the station and they all seem to be heading that way. I hit a main street and see that the big white signs that I found in Paris proper ...

... great books there and I was able to have tea on the roof of the building which had a beautiful view. I was very pleased with my visit. After that, I headed over to Notre Dame where I sat and gazed at it for a good 45 minutes. It gave me a sense of peace that I haven't had since I left home. Maybe it was just that sense of being surrounded by Americans... ;) Either way, I was reluctant to leave after I went inside. I stopped to get some ...

... aliniati inspre drum, de obicei, privind trecatorii si soarbindu-si cafeaua, bandu-si vinul, mancandu-si crepa sau mai stiu u ce altceva, depinzand de ora zilei. Toate landmarks sunt uluitoare, realitatea nu se compara cu nicio poza sau album, dar multimea nebuna de turisti care e in continua fuga de la un obiectiv la altul si cozile nebune la temperatura aia ne-au facut sa nu prindem aderenta prea mare de Paris. As adora sa-l pot vizita camuflata in multimea parizienilor ...

... I get online to check my e-mail and the only 2 new e-mails I get is one from dad telling me the collection company called again about this magical fake balance I owe and I thought I had taken care of that problem a long time ago but they called that same day to say I owe them money when I don't! Great... something I have to take care of when I get back (I called them the next week).. The 2nd e-mail is from my landlord telling me my apartment has been sold and that I can't live ...

... did could I really afford to go, but at the same time I was excited. I was finally going to get to go to Norway, not originally as I had intended but I was going to get to go. Mom finally began to feel excited for me as well, because she had always wanted to go to Norway as well, and the fact that I was going was exciting for her too now. Packing up for the trip wasn't a big deal but I did have to pack a lot of warm ...

... making it impossible to see all the works. Instead, you must set out for the pieces you are most drawn to - of which there is an abundance. This is simply the greatest art museum of the world - not like I've seen them all but I believe anyone would be hard-pressed to present an example that could take on the diversity of art held within the Louve. Everything from Egyptian relics, greek, italian, and french sculpture, flemish paintings, and renaissance ...

... Also a little terrace overlooking the street to sit on. It is small as I had expected, but not as small as sharing a flat with 4 other people, I feel like it is Christmas. I have been in others people's homes with other couch surfers for the last 2 weeks, it was great, but ready to not share a bathroom with 4 other people for a while. Went to street where Moulin Rouge is tonight and ate supper. At ...

... this museum also included many other wonderful paintings, our other favorite was from the naturlist style. It is a painting of Jesus telling a story, but with one difference. Everyone is naked except Jesus. Marty said, "its as if Jesus said 'gather round everyone, take off your clothes, I'm going to tell a story.'... With so much time left, we decided to take on the Louvre. How can you go to Paris and not go the Louvre? Yes it was pretty amazing to see all ...
