Whew, there is quite a bit to catch up on (though I am happy to report that all of my papers for this program are finished--so no homework over Christmas for me :)). Paris was, as anticipated, amazing. We took another night train (and this time I slept on a one of the couches across three seats). We some how managed to spread out in there and catch a few hours before we arrived to Paris early that morning. Only once did I fall off the seats (and almost on another traveler) when we slammed the breaks (somewhere around 3:30 or 4:00am). We arrived and then it was only a matter of a few subway jumps to get to our hotel.
The hotel..was what we expected for only $28 Euro a night per person. We were in a small, box shaped room (but we did have our own bathroom...however the showers were in the hall and closed each night around 10:00p). Inside this dorm looking room was 5 beds and 0 floor space. So we had to crawl over our beds to get to the bathroom and out of the door. But we had a great location. Only a 10 min walk to the Notre Dame and a 20 to 30 min walk to the Lourve :) So we really can't complain. The mornings came with a traditional breakfast of a baguette and spreads (mostly cheeses), some tea, and fruit.
