Paris!
So I started my day in Paris with Jordan by checking into our hotel and cleaning up. After we realized how close our hotel is to everything we didn't have to take the metro. So we walked to the Opera and apparently something there caught on fire, so we left and then snuck into the Ritz and explored there for about 25 minutes lol it was pretty cool. Then we walked around for a really long time at the gardens around the Louvre then the Latin Quarter. We ate at a cafe for lunch and ended up sitting next to a guy from Maryland. Small World. Then we went to Notre Dame and searched for bottled water insted of the nasty gas stuff I accidently ordered at lunch! That stuff is awful! Then we realized we'd walked really far so I navigated the metro all by myself and got us back to the hotel! About 30 minutes ago we found a supermarket where tomorrow were going to go buy cheese and bread and snacks and have a picnic tomorrow! Were gonna take a nap now and later tonight go to Mon Martre!

Holly so happy you are there and walking around alot - I think that is really the only way to see Paris and all the street scenes. We loved the sidewalk cafes and the flower shops. Good job on the Metro finding your way back to the hotel - which looks VERY NICE. We stayed at the Marriott on the west bank which I think is close to the Latin Quarter. Love Mon Martre and the view. I understand about the carbonated water - awful. Say hello to Jordan. LOVE
