After rave reviews of the Carlos blog, he is now taking over for today.. Quite frankly, I'm hurt and offended. From now on this is called Carlos' pearls of wisdom. ; ) Today we went to the Louvre. Still in fear of the Parisian subway, we decided to once again walk. A thirty minute walk is not so bad these days even given Alisha blistered foot. On a side note: if purchasing a cheap pair of shoes it would be worthwhile wearing socks as a precautionary measure to p...

Bonjour! Today Carlos slept till 10am!! Outrageous! We had to do some washing so found a laundromat, which was interesting to figure out when everything is in French. While it was washing we wandered around a bit and went to a cafe and sat outside in the sun and I ordered a croque Madame and Carlos a croque Monsieur. Seriously most AMAZING sandwich I have ever had, accompanied by the best coffee yet, Paris, you are slowly winning my heart.. We lazed a bit toda...

Be warned- this is going to be a loooong blog. Run away now if you want! Up this morning at 8am for me, 9.30am for Carlos! But anyway, we decided we would go see the louvre today as it's only a 22 min walk. So we mapped it out and went on our way (btw I am only wearing thongs because my blisters are so bad). We got to the Louvre which is HUGE like a massive castle that stretches soooo long, and on the way saw that there is a bridge that you attach locks to, so d...

Here is Carlos' blog... It will be all non story telling and straight to the point. Enjoy! ; ) I feel I should make some amendments to Alisha's prior comments: 1. I comfortably made it onto the train in Paris without any help from Alisha 2. The 7hr+ trip to euro Disney was actually the time taken to walk there!! On a side note Alisha's skills with google maps needs some serious attention 3. In and out of shops today with Alisha on the Champs Élysées w...

Today is Paris day!! We got up, caught a tram to the main train station in Amsterdam to catch the Thalys train to Paris. At the station we got some frites Sonya! There is a photo for you!! Sooo yum! The train is nice and spacious (much more than a plane) and we get free wifi the whole time! I soooo win my no planes argument with Carlos. We arrive after a pleasant train ride (speeds of up to 199 miles) crazy! We get off the train and oh.my.god. its intense!! T...
