When I found out that Geoff had to go to Paris for work, I promptly invited myself along for the trip, and encouraged him to plan the trip so that we had some time together that was not just work. I was very excited because not only did we get to travel with work friends (Viraj was there!), but we got to see people that Geoff worked with in Seattle. I dont remember sleeping on the flight over, but I am sure I did, as I am able to pretty much sleep anywhere. However, our goal upon arrival in Paris was to stay up as late as possible and go to sleep at normal Paris sleep time when jetlagged. Geoff, Viraj and I took a cab from the airport to the hotel- Hotel du Cygne. We checked in, and the staff were just amazing. They spoke broken english, and they were very curious about what our plans were for the evening. Our room was typical tiny european, with just enough room for a bed and a desk in the room. We did have a private bath, so we were very happy about that. We decided to take a walk around to find out what our bearings were, and discovered that we were blocks away from the Louvre, and planned an entire day to do that.
