PARIS--round one

December 13 well...i made it here alive. My flights were smooth sailing and from chicago all the way to paris (7 hours) the seat next to me was even open so I had plenty of room but let me tell you..there wasnt much sleeping. I was flying into Charles De Gualle airport and then had to figure out the train system to Saint Lazare. But I kept calm...Youtube videos are a lifesaver people. I ALMOST got on the wrong train.. but trusted my insticts and got there safely.

When I got there I was trying not to look like a lost puppy..but I was scared to leave the train station to see what was out there. After about 10 minutes of contemplating I grew some kahoonahs and drug all my luggage into a tiny cafe where i treated myself to some lunch and a glass of wine.

After lunch my jet lag was kicking in but I didnt have a hotel room to go to becuase I'm just spending the day in Paris, and then an overnight bus to Amsterdam. My mom said there are norweigian shops around paris, so I shopped around looking for them. NAME A BRAND...it was here.

Even the mcdonalds was "fancy" and selling macaroons😛

After shopping I finally met up with Meredith. That means more wine. The rest of the day was quick, we got a nice dinner and headed to the bus station for an overnight ride to Amerstdam WISH US LUCK!
