Au revoir, Paris...
... t be placed in the same cabins, so Jesse and I are in one (with a Bostonian and a Londoner; both very nice guys), and Matt is in another car. In our haste, Jesse and I had forgotten activate our Eurail passes at the ticket office before departure, a mistake which can apparently cost upwards of around $200-300 in fines.
