Today was by far my favorite day in Paris. It began by catching the train to Versailles, which became a very lengthy process, as I was unable to find the station, and the teller at the metro was an utterly useless cow. I did however finally get there. My first impression of the palace Versailles was that it was gigantic, and grand on nearly every scale imaginable. As is the case with nearly everything in Paris, the signs were only in French, so I opted to purachs...

Today was a very quiet day. I have found as the week passes on, I get far less adventureous with my endeavors. I took the tube to see Notredame, which was very interesting, but I must say that my loyalty still lies with St. Paul´s Cathedral. Once again, the entry was free, but the place was packed.

After having dinner last night, I decided today would be the day that I would start sightseeing. I don't know if it was the wine I had, but whatever it was, it had a good effect. I began the day by mindlessly wandering ...

So, today I learned a variety of things, primarily that my French is awful. In comparison however, today was a far better day than yesterday, which was the first time that I had really cried since I left the airport in Calgary. Today, I started by hauling myself out of bed, and headed downstairs for some breakfast. I was starving, because I hadn't eaten in around a day or so. It wasn't anything spectacular, just juice, yourt, cereal, and runny eggs; which...
