Well today will be another one for the memory book. Ha. We have decided that coming to a place where we no less than 5 words of their language, and only about 5 people in this country speak English....makes for a bad combination. After asking 5 different people, 3 of which had high powered guns attached to them, how to get back to our hotel from Chatalet (the middle of Paris), we finally made it, which we thought would never happen. Paris was great today though. We saw a lot of things and ended up walking the whole time...to equal a good 15 miles or so. We did a little shopping along the way and saw the Louvre, Eiffel Tower, the Arc de something that starts with a T, and many other things we dont exactly know the names to. We got to see the Mona Lisa though! Also, we walked up a good 1,000 stairs today, which actually seemed more like 10,000. We got to go up to the 1st and 2nd level's of the Eiffel Tower and also went to the top of the Arc de...Tromphile maybe?? haha I will have to look it up. Our map was very helpful and so was the river...we basically followed it the whole time. Anyway, we are very very tired and are going to get some sleep so we can do it all over again tomorrow! And for some reason my pictures are not loading here, so I will put them up when I get back to Leiden.
