I am in Paris!!! I had such a great day! The last 48 hours have been a whirlwind though!
My day started yesterday in chennai when I went to breakfast at ten. Bob Tim and myself went to the beach. We went to the same beach we went to our first weekend in chennai. The waves were too big to swim which was a bummer but napping and listening to the waves crash in was good enough for me. It was so peaceful just laying and listening. We stayed there for a few hour before heading back to Ginger Hotel.
I finished packing and we grabbed dinner. Our plan was to order Pizza Hut but they said it would take an hour and a half to deliver it due to the rain. I didn't want it to come after I left for the airport so we ate at the Ginger Restaraunt. I had plain omelet and two parathas. The parathas at the ginger are my favorite Indian food I had while in India so I was glad to have one more before heading to Europe.
After dinner I headed to the airport! Everything with my travels ran smoothly. I took a taxi to the chennai airport, checked in, got through immigration and security and found my gate with time to spare. The flight to Frankfurt was ten hours. I tried to sleep most of it because that was all the sleep I was going to get. I ended up getting a couple hours. Once in Frankfurt I had to get my second boarding pass printed. After a small tour of the airport I figured it out and was off to Paris! Once I landed in Paris, I found my bag and headed to the metro. I waited in the wrong ticket line for twenty minutes oops! But I got my ticket and even met a kid from MSU! The metro was nothing compared to the craziness on the Delhi metro.
Once I dropped my bags at the hotel I went in search of food. I tried three different restaurants but all were only serving beer. Although a beer sounded good I really needed food. I found a little grocery store an got an apple, banana and some crackers!
When I got back to the hotel I met my group. The group consists of 48 people! A majority of them are from Australia. I haven't met another American yet. We soon headed on a city lights your of Paris! I already love this city! Here are some highlights from the tour.
Sacre Couer - the lower left photo is with my roommates. The two on the left are Australian and the one on the right is from South Africa. They are all great and very nice!
I am excited to see everything in the daylight tomorrow! We have a free day. I am hoping to find someone at breakfast that wants to do similar things as me. I am doing a bike tour in the afternoon which I am very excited for!
But I'm off to bed after two long days! I hope you are having a fabulous day!
