So today I went to the Louvre, although I am writing this three days after the fact, so my memory on it is a little bit hazy. The plaza was really crowded when I got there, and there were a bunch of tour buses parked in front of it. The big glass pyramid in the front did seem a little bit strange in comparison to the rest of the architecture; but it was still quite impressive. Never the less, it did stick out like a sore thumb. I had to que in line in order to ge...

So, today was a good day. I finally have adjusted to Paris, two days after arriving. A lot of it has to do with knowing where things are. For instance, I now am aware of the laundromat, as well as an ATM, and most importantly; the pastry shop. 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.

It wasn't anything spectacular, just juice, yourt, cereal, and runny eggs; which...

This morning I packed my bags and was accompanied to the train staion by Corrine and Susan, which was a very nice sendoff from London, and I will be sure to miss them both a lot.

I spent most of it listening to my Ipod, or knitting, I think there were only four of us or so in the car, so it was a very quiet trip over. Once I got into Paris, I was confronted by a Bosnian whose father was apparen...

So, 1 week later and I am still alive, and haven't been mugged. I am impressed, as I am sure some of the people back home are as well. There isn't much to report today, other than the fact that it is my last day in London. One of my room mates came in last night, at 3 am and then proceeded to rummage through her crap for the next half an hour. Her phone went off at 6 am, but miracuosly, she didn't hear it. These will be a few of the things that I will...
