Paris... and a few tips!


            Paris is one of the most beautiful cities! On the way our plane got delayed for 3 hours, I believe it had to do with the volcanic ash being thrown into the air. As Rachael and I got off our plane we ventured through the airport. The architecture is very cool.  The escalators at one point all meets up in an outside area and you can look down upon 8 different escalators. After we got off of the plane we waited for an hour to get our baggage. As we were waiting we found out that the airline baggage people had gone on strike! Finally we got out of the airport and met up with our “person” Marie! She was a little hard to find, we had to exit terminal 1 to locate her and the instructions said we would meet in terminal 1 (a little confusing).
            We left the airport into our black van. We sat in the lanes for a very long time about an inch away form the big buses. We finally arrived at our hotel and got our keys, Rachael and I are on the highest floor of our whole group, it’s a pretty view but the rooms are tiny!!!!! We had to ask for blankets and the concierge desk had no idea what we were talking about! So we got our little French handbook and asked him in French! The bedding is not the cleanest I would say. I would bring your own sheets if you can fit them in your luggage.
