I wish I could speak French

Today we arrived in the city of Paris! We left our hostel in London at around 4:45am. Soooooo early. Checked in for Eurostar by 5am (French stamp in passport = SWEET!) and left St Pancras promptly at 5:25. We had breakfast served soon afterwards. Omlette, sausage, hashbrowns, mushrooms, orange juice, and breads. And lots of tea! Yum! Soon after eating, both Erin and I fell asleep.

It was super easy to find our hotel. The concierge was a very nice Frenchman. We sat around the breakfast tables trying to decide on what we wanted to do since our room wasn't ready. Then right when we were about to walk out the door "mademoiselles!" Our room was ready. We finally made it back to the train station to buy metro tickets and went to the St Michel stop to take a look at Notre Dame. We found a cute little creperie on a side street on Ile de St Louis. Crepes are sooooo yummy! I got one with cheese, ham and tomato; Erin, just ham and cheese and we split a chocolat crepe. After that we met up with the advertised "Free Walking Tour" of Paris. Three and a half hours around all the major sites. This was quite helpful in giving us an orientation to the city. However, we forgot sun screen. This was bad news bears.

We literally saw everything we wanted to on the tour, except for Montmarte. Montmarte is for Thursday. After the tour, we strolled along the second most expensive street in the world, Champs Elysees (pronounced shamps lee-says) and got a good look at the Arc du Triomphe.

So...yeah. Tired and sunburnt. We are going to Disneyland Paris tomorrow. Yes, we are nerds.

Did I mention that Paris is awesome? Seriously, awesome. The architecture alone is incredible. I want to move here just so I can wander the streets and oogle the architecture. Nevermind, the language barrier. That has already produced some interesting results.
