paris

Im in paris! we went straight from london to paris - im not a huge london fan, way too expensive and too luch like nyc - but paris is wonderful! i had never been here before, but its really lovely. the biggest surprise is def how friendly everyone is! the french have been so wonderfully nice! yesterday we saw the louve - didnt get to go in - and notre dame, we went to the rodin museum gardens and saw the thinker, went alll the way up the eiffel tower - walked up to 400 meters and then took the elevator up to 900 meters - i timed it so we were up there for sunset, so beautiful! for dinner, we got take out from a little cafe and picniced in front of the glowing, charming eiffel tower - tres magnifique!

today we have a 5pm train to Nice, in the south of france, and a hostel there, so tomorrow we can go into cannes for the film festival! i have a friend working at it but so far i dont think hell be able to get us in... all the hostel and cheap hotels have been booked in paris and deeeefinately in cannes, so weve been scrambling trying to find places to stay and trying to balance not having everything out ahead of ti,ing with booking good, cheap places to stay. i hope to start booking things a little sooner now - yes im a butler - so we can stay in cooler, cheaper places.

times up at the internet cafe, got to run!

ciao!
