Mercure Paris La Defense 5 3m Courbevoie

... All very French (NOT!)...all very disappointing. Anyway, the real Cartier and Louis Vuitton were still there so that was cool. We stopped halfway up for coffee. Mati's PArents went back to the hotel and Mati and I walked around for a little while longer. The we went back to the hotel to get ready for dinner. We went to a restaurant called Le Procope (www.procope.com). It purportedly ...

... For those of you that did not already her, I was punched in the face in the metro, and then attacked by a blind man in the street the next morning....fun times. Its actually a rediculously funny story when you think about it: I was on my way to meet up with some girls from school last Saturday night to go to a club, so I hopped on the metro and was walking down the hallway ...

... everywhere (especially the loud Americans!) Made the most of our nice hotel and late check-out time so slept in a bit then eventually left the room at about 11am. Sherry wanted to go to L'Orangerie, which despite the name isn't where they make orange juice. It's a museum which is housed in an old Orangerie. Because it gets quite cold in France and the French really like fresh OJ, they used to ...

Arriving in any city late at night isnt fun and we landed about 10pm into Paris so we decided just to catch a cab to the hotel. Having only one day in Paris, we ventured to most of the sites, the famous strip for the tour de france (i don\t know how you spell it so I wont even try), several palaces, the leovre, notre dam and of course the Eiffel Tower. We decided (after trying to get into the ...

Bonjour all. It's my last night in Paris for three weeks. In the morning we're off to Caen, Normandy we're we will all be doing the majority of the work that we're technically here to do. We've been visiting these very moving and amazing memorials in honor of those deported and executed during World War II as a result of Vichy France. I've been brought to tears on so many occasions and it's really hard to read and comprehend such a deep topic day in and day ...

... and so on. After taking many more pics and circling the tower on the different levels, I couldn't feel my fingers anymore and it was time to go. Definitely recommend seeing that. Today, my final day here I packed up my stuff, checked out, chucked the bags, and took the metro over to the Latin Quarter. Sidenote...did you know that there is a marker in front of the Notre Dame Cathedral which is the measuring point for all places in France. If you are in ...

... prior entry, in which we have uploaded 20 photos since we last sent an update. And now on to the news: Greetings to all, Lynne is the primary author of this entry, and Andy will be sure to let all readers know of anything she forgets or fails to cover in enough detail. KRUGER NATIONAL PARK We slept "late" on the last morning (Saturday) at Manyatta Rock Camp, which means we got up around 6:15 instead of 5:30. We made arrangements the night before to have an early ...

... and attempted to kiss Mary. Lol. She didn't know what to do! Dodging him with every effort he landed on the cheek. He then kisses the other cheek to do that whole French thing, caresses her face again, and backed off, like and inch. Meanwhile, I'm still starring and thanking god it's not me. Then he turns towards me and I took about 3-4 steps back. I didn't care how rude it looked, I didn't want the scum bag touching me. THE TRAIN FINALLY COMES and we get on, dodging him at the last ...
