We Made It To Paris
The direct flight from SLC to Paris was wonderful. Hollie and I pre-ordered our Asian Vegetarian meals, which were wonderful. I highly recommend selecting the special diet options when flying; not only do you get better quality food but, special requests are also served first (A point which made us feel a bit guilty but also satisfied :)). Hollie kept jokingly giving me a cheesy smile and a thumbs up as we ate our meal about 20 min before the other passengers. We took the RER (train) from the airport to our hotel (The Pullman Paris Rive Gauche). Since we have just arrived, we are going to head out now and visit the Lovre and possibly another site or two. I would really like to come back in the Spring and take Jordie to Disneyland Paris (the yoga, Lovre, etc are just not her thing yet).

Everyone wants to know why the Lovre is closed on Tuesdays? (Cleaning, maybe?) I want to know what Paris smells like?
ReplyDeleteHi, my Mum has requested me to write, so this is Hollie :D! Apparently the Louvre is closed every Tuesday for cleaning :(; however, we were able to make the most of our day by walking around beautiful Paris (in the frigid cold, though), and eating true french cuisine for dinner. Eating breakfast at 2:00 am, and Dinner at 11:00 am is a little weird, but I've done it before while traveling, so not so bad ;). It is the first time for me not to really feel jetlag, and I am very grateful for it. To answer your question about the smells of Paris, well, it really depends. One minute while taking the RER, it stunk like high heavens, and another while walking past bakeries that line the streets, absolutely delicious. Paris is just a big city, a beautiful one at that, and is cool to explore. We are having such a blast, and are getting ready for our next flight to Bombay, which will be quite a bit warmer. I'm so excited for New Years in Bombay. See ya!
