well, we're here. so far, i dislike the keyboard here at the internet kiosk at the hostel, but other than that, paris is pretty great! we both slept reasonably well on the plane, but we are still running at about 4-5 hours of sleep in the last 30 hours. In fifteen minutes we can get into our room where we will nap, shower, and then go see some sights! also, we will be drinking cheap red wine, which we have seen for as little as 2 euros per bottle! it's also 27 degrees here! go moisture wicking travel clothes!
well, have fun back there in canada!

we've got backpacks, rail passes, and a lonely planet guide. here's where you can hear about our many adventures!
We might add pictures here.
Then again, we might not. Michelle's at camp now, so it's really all up to me. But, you may have noticed that I tend to be the more diligent blogger anyway. So, probably I'll post some pictures in the next few days. We took 1,990 of them, after all.
Quotable Quotes
- "Your hair looks better down, it frames your face better" - The Creepy Rugby Coach, after trying to pimp out his players to us, after Heather pulled out her braids.
- "That sheep looks like it's trying to jump over the other sheep and it can't quite make it" - Michelle, during the busride across Mull.
- "They really just look like big Mercedes Benz logos rotating around and around" - Heather, on the windmills in Europe.
- "Dammit, I'm gonna eat this $18 pancake come hell or high water." Heather, talking about the Dutch pancake which she did not, in fact, finish.
- "You don't even have to queue. You're just like P-Diddy, really, you just walk right in." - Bus Tour Guide in London, talking about fast-track tickets to London Attractions.
things we learned about German movie theatres
- 1. There are assigned seats. Don´t just dump your ticket in your bag as soon as you get past the ticket guy.
- 2. You can drink beer in the movie theatre
- 3. There are at least 30 minutes of commercials before the movie starts.
- 4. There is an intermission. Even if the movie doesn´t call for it, they´re just gonna press pause and wait 10 minutes to try to manipulate you into buying stuff. Well, it didn´t work on us, suckers!

Glad you guys made it there safely...was thinking about you guys a lot yesterday. Mmmm, red wine;)
Well it looks like you can have just over 6 bottles on me! Who's your new best friend? LOL
So glad to hear you arrived safely. Am looking forward to hearing all about your adventures.
I miss you already....so sad...
I told Madame Brunneau that you were in Paris today. We were both jealous. Anyway, European keyboards are a bit of a twist, alright. A small, but irksome, price to pay . . .
See lots!
