Day 16

Today has been quite an interesting day to say the least. We started off with drawing class, which went perfectly fine..except we were a little giddy and time went rather slow because all we really wanted to do was leave :). We got out of class at 1 and made it to our gate in the airport by 2:30. We boarded at 2:50 and finally took off about 45 minutes later. Our flight was only 42 minutes long and went by in a flash. When we got to Paris, we had absolutely no idea what to do, considering we got a deal on the internet with a flight + hotel thing...the only problem was, our hotel is like 40 minutes south of Paris...who knew that even though the hotel is called Stars Paris Envy Hotel, that is actually is not in Paris. So we paid a good 15 dollars to get a train ticket to our hotel. Also, we only found a total of 2 people who spoke any kind of English on our way to the hotel..that was great. We had a guy trying to give us directions about which bus to get on once we got in Envy and we never had an idea of what he was saying...then as we waited some more, we could see him standing by his friends pointing at us and telling more people about how we had no idea what was going on. So after asking another woman who ended up calling the hotel for us, her son walked us to the hotel...even though he didnt speak a word of English besides "mother". The man at the hotel was the best English speaker of the day; he gave us a lot of info. Our hotel room is bring blue and red and the back of our beds is a sail...weird. We found one place that was open and it was a pizza place. We could not read a word of it and they did not speak a word of english (surprise surprise) so we ended up ordering the pizza with the least amount on it..and ended up with a cheese pizza! But we actually got 2..even though we only wanted one. (We forgot that they eat their own pizza's over here). So that concludes our day. We came back to the hotel and ate our pizza's and drank the coke that he gave us and now we are going to bed and will be headed to Parris tomorrow if we can find it! :)
