We landed safely and early in the morning into lovely Paris. It was sunny but super cold - just a tad warmer than Munich. We courageously decided to take the subway to find our hotel. James was awesome again. He carried both our suitcases - mine being super duper heavy - onto the subway, off the subway and up four flights of stairs! Oh thank god for James! Mind you, if James hadn't been there I would most likely have hailed a cab for a more enjoyable ride to the hotel... We got to the hotel and they weren't ready for us so we dropped off our luggage and found some grub. James ordered a yummy lasagna and I ordered raw ground beef. It looked nasty but pretty yummy. That night we walked to the Louvre, and then went up the Eiffel Tower. It was super windy and cold. We had dinner (again expensive) and then called it a night.
Today we went to Sacre Coeur, Cimetiere Montmartre, Moulin Rouge, where I stayed last time (area 17th), the Opera, Galleries Lafayette, a very yummy ramen place on St. Anne street (it was so difficult to find and no one knew what street we were looking for except a nice lady at the information desk at the Galleries Lafayette), the Kooki outlet, a luggage store to buy a new suitcase cause the suitcase that I'm borrowing is falling apart! Whew! what a day! We've been walking lots and my body is aching!
If you were to ask James what the highlight of today is, he would have to say our super cheap breakfast - 4 euros! He couldn't get over the fact that last night he had spent 5.60 euros on a 500mL coke when this morning we had two pastries and a coke for only 4 euros. He was quite impressed with our Ramen place too as we spent 19 euros on two ramen bowls, 5 gyozas, a bowl of rice and a bowl of sauteed veggies.
