I really am in France!!
Hello from Paris. The keyboards on these computers are a bit different so it takes a little longer to write.I:m on this trip with my friends Dave and Charles: We got to LAX at 4:00 am on Friday and we:ve been on the go ever since: Right now it 12;30 am Paris time:
We arrived in Paris at 7:00 AM Saturday morning and it took a while for us to get our car; Once that was taken care of we made David Merrill drive and I am quite impressed; I don;t think I want to drive here cuz all the cars are manuel and the streets are so narrow; Since it was so early and we couldn:t check into our hotel quite yet; we did a little sightseeing: First stop was the Sacre le Cour or Sacred Heart Cathedral: It:s this beautiful old catholic church right in the middle of Paris: There were a gazillion stairs to climb to get to it but the view from the top was worth it: You can see all of Paris and at first light it was beautiful: The Cathedral inside is enormous and so tall it;s dizzing: There are lots of stainglass windows and a beautiful mural of Christ done it gold: After leaving the church we headed west: The guys wanted to show me something: Out of nowhere right in front was my first viex of the Eiffel Tower and then it really hit me that I:m in Paris; It:s so crazy: We stopped and got a beaguette to share for breakfast then hopped back in our car and drove around: We passed the Seinne river and Notre Dame: We:ll go back there tomorrow during the day: We came and checked into our hotel and slept for about six hours got up and showered and then headed out again: My body clock is a bit messed up right now: After dinner we walked over to the Eiffel Tower: I can:t believe how huge it is: We got there right before the top of the hour and when the hour cqme it lights up with all of these twinkling lights: It is so beautiful and I had to remind myself that i really am in Paris: When you read and see pictures about these places It still amazes me to see them in person: We finished the night Parisian style and had a crepe with nutella and it was good: Tomorrow we;re going to the arc de triumph and louve before we have to head to the airport and catch a plane to Ireland:

Glad you made it there safe. I wish I could see pictures!! Maybe I will have to wait till Thanksgiving? Glad you are having such a great time!
I think I would feel the same way if I were there..not really believing that it is all happening. That is so cool. I would love to see all that stuff someday. I am also glad you made it safe. I will let mom know how you are doing and let her read your blog.
