HAH! I'm gone again!!! I left Michigan at 4pm Monday and landed in Paris at 8am Tuesday! I actually sat in the detroit airport for over 5 hours yesterday because Carlos was flying to Argentina at 1pm. We thought we'd be in the same terminal and hang out until he left, but, of course we weren't in the same terminal, so I sat around by myself for 5+ hours. Its ok. I brought lots of books after I learned that lesson in Mexico : )
I got off the plane, and found my backpack. There is always that sense of dread when picking up my bags from anywhere. The scenario flashing before my eyes that my bag didn't make the trip... but, so far so good.
This trip is wierd too because I'm feeling completely unprepared. My life was so crazy before the trip, and I was looking forward to relaxing in Europe so much, I forgot to do a lot of things. But, no worries. Nothing you can't do with the internet!
This weekend I moved out of my old place into an apartment and got SCUBA Open Water Certification with National Geographic specialty. I threw a party at my house the weekend before while working 6 day weeks. I didn't have much time to plan things out. But, I have 4 days in Paris, and the Louvre and Versailles will take up 2, so not much to worry about. Then Friday I'm on to Grenoble for the weekend to see my friend Cindy, and Monday I go to Lausanne until Thursday, when I go back to Paris to catch my flight to Toronto to help Alan with a 100 mile race for Memorial Day Weekend!!!
I'm sitting in my hostel now. I found it with no problems, which was exciting because I had to take the subway from the airport, get off at a station, get on another train, find a particular exit, and then walk a couple blocks.
Right now I'm just getting my bearings and figuring out what to do with myself. It is wet and a little rainy today, so it isn't making me want to run out the door, plus I'm really tired. I slept on both flights, 8 hours + 1 hour, but I'm still adjusting.
Alright, I'm going to figure out what I want to do today, see ya!
