Moulin Vert Hotel Paris

... And we were up and checked out of the hotel by 11am. We went directly to the train station where we learned our plans to take the night train to Madrid wasn't going to work out. So, we had to improvise and take a late evening train that transferred several times. So, we left to explore the city. Chris had wanted to see the Louvre and the Mona Lisa that lay inside. I told him that I thought we ...

... to be emerging from the grand automatic doors anytime soon, I reluctantly decided it was time for me to continue on with the inevitable, finding my way to the Metro and getting on the RER B toward Paris. After about 30 minutes of walking around in circles and generally touring all levels of the airport I worked up the courage to utter my first toddler-like words to a bored looking airport official to ask where the hell freaking RER B was?!! Apparently it was in the complete opposite ...

... been wearing a light sweater. After the boat we wandered back the Louvre. As were walking closer, many of the girls started planning out their route of which, painting they specifically wanted to see. Some people wanted to do the Mona Lisa, others wanted to hit up the statues. As I stood there not really caring what I saw, I noticed Marcy and Chris had sort of the same looks on their faces so we made a mini-Molalla group and wandered ...

... the closest subway station. Unfortunately, they didn't accept any credit cards and as always, on TV in the lounge was succor! I stayed in a mixed dorm where I met Anna, a girl from a Colombia. So I tried a few Spanish words I knew to her and made myself understood. It made me a little bit happy again. In Paris, until nine in the evening, it was light outside. So, although I arrived at my hostel around three, I had ...

... vides. Les livraisons sont le mardi. Il y a beaucoup de magasin qui sont fermés le lundi. Il faut que tu apprennes les coutumes du pays. Les gens mangent à 20h. Ils sont dans les rues de 18h à 20h pour ramasser les choses dont ils ont besoin pour le dîner. (Ici on dîne). Les restaurants et d'autres endroits sont fermés de 14h à 19h. Et les écoles ferment le mercredi. Elles sont ouvertes le samedi avant-midi. Les parents ramassent les enfants à la crèche vers 18h30. Bon ...

... square and then headed out for the rest of our adventure, passing old churches and other buildings of the original village of Montmarte, including a bakery (boulangerie) circa 1900 and a former cabaret where singer Edith Piaf performed and inspired the citizens of Nazi-occupied Paris. We saw the former homes, studios and hangouts of several renowned artists and composers, including Renoir, Satie, Utrillo, Picasso, Toulouse-Lautrec, van Gogh, and ...

... several times to see marchers past our window, or filling the main street a block away, but this Sunday, it was so nice outside, I wouldn't be surprised if no one even showed up to demonstrate. Sunday is also a day to catch a wedding party clogging the streets outside of the Rue de Tournelles Synagogue--we happened upon one as we were on our way home and couldn't help but stand and wait alongside all the guests, just to see if we could catch a glimpse of the bride and ...

... of tennis balls while saying that. Mari and I tried to get our way out of there politely. We succeeded. On the street we expressed our dissapointment. This had been ridiculous. Just ridiculous. Mari asked me why I had talked so much with that guy. I couldn't find an answer. He talked a lot so I talked a lot. Maybe I should have been more reserved. More cold. Germans are known for their coldness all around the world. Anyway, we're still looking for a place to stay.

... staring at the squiggles and smudges that this guy passed of as art. Maybe the better stuff is in the Picasso museum in Paris. Maybe there isn't actually better stuff. So after grabbing sandwiches and making a few quick phone calls outside the train station, we dashed inside to grab out bags and find out which track the 6:38pm train to Cebere was leaving from. Only it wasn't on the board. After asking some very nice Spanish security guards we found out that the 6:38pm ...
