hey everyone!
I am uploading pictures and it is taking so long! So I thought i would give a little update.
Well, we made it to Paris! After our three-train adventure and a brisk little walk, we finally arrived at our hotel! (its a Best Western...tres francais?)
Our hotel is lovely: with pretty nice rooms, fridges, and a WONDERFUL breakfast! Mike arrived to greet us yesterday and it was so nice to see him! He even brought with him a Whitworthian for us to look at.
After checking out a supermarche, Mia, Rachel, and I decided we wanted to get out of the hotel and explore! We booked it to Monmartre (because we had to be back very presently) and got our first glimpse of the Eiffel tower from the the top of Monmartre. AND we walked all the way up to sacre coeur! It was beautiful and it finally sunk in that we were in PARIS. GAH!
Today we had class with Mike. It was great and informative and organized: yay! Then we had lunch and had our first metro experience!!! Having never been on the metro, this was soooo exciting for me! It is liberating. We stopped off at Trocedero and turned around the corner and there was the eiffel tower!!! after taking a lot of touristy pictures doing things like jumping, popping our collars, or pretending not to be impressed, we took the elevator up to the very tip top! It was awesome and very very windy. It was not a good day to forget my scarf. However, it would have been worse had I forgot my camera.

Sounds like your first days in Paris got off to a great start! I can't believe you went to the very tip top of the Eiffel Tower! We want to see those pictures tout suite! Also great to hear they have a good breakfast at the tres Francais Best Western... I assume they have both western and Parisian fare? Keep writing, we look for new words all the time.
once while i was in the metro, some woman made fun of me with her little friend cuz they i couldnt understand them...well i did. haha
anyways! i love you.
