Paris!

Of all the places I am planning to visit, Paris is one of the ones I'm most excited about.  It has the beautiful old charm of an ancient city and I can understand what they people are saying! I left Heidelberg last night at 11:10 and thankfully got a seat to myself. I slept off and on and arrived shortly before 6am.  After figuring out the metro and taking 3 different trains I found myself at the hostel which was thankfully awake.  Arriving at 7 I was worried nobody would be working yet.  I locked my stuff up (for 4,50€ I might add) and busied myself for the couple of hours before my walking tour began. Since I arrived in the dark there wasn't much I could see, well and most of my trip was underground.  Arriving at St. Christopher's square I was like a kid at Christmas.  It's even better than I could imagine! A 3km walk took us past the Pont Neuf, the Pont Carrousek (a lover's lane of sorts where people put a lock on the bridge so their love will last forever), Musee de Louvre, Notre Dame (from afar), Eiffel Tower, Obelisque, Eglise de Madeline, and so much more. Unfortunately the Eiffel tower was far away but I plan to go see it soon.  I believe I'll go to Versailles tomorrow and the Louvre Friday! I can't believe I am in such an amazing city!
