So after saying goodbye and many hours of traveling, we landed in Paris early this morning. We look the train to the hostel, transfered money, and dropped out bags off. The money transfer was depressing since the dollar is worth next to nothing these days.
There are 5 of us girls, all from the Cameroon Immersion that are together, at least for the first night. We went to McDonalds and Starbucks for lunch because we needed out American fix. We then hiked several miles towards the Luve. On our way we walk the back streets. Little did we know, this would prove to be the best idea yet! We were walking past a sidewalk cafe and passed right by Orlando Bloom ( Pirate of the Carribbean, etc..). He is even more gorgeous in person believe it or not! Then we rode a giant ferris wheel that looked out over the entire city. It was by far the most beautiful city scene I could even imagine. It better than all of the pictures! We then walked to the Eiffel Tower and hung out in the grass admiring the view. We just got done having dinner at a cafe, people watching as we ate. We are taking power naps and getting ready to go out soon! I can't wait to see Paris at night!
Tomorrow we are going to go up to the top of the Eiffel and lots of other tentative plans...who knows. We are making it up as we go, but it is proving to be a good game plan!
I miss you all and love you and can't wait to see you all soon!
