So, after a couple days of walking around, I have found that Paris is just wonderful. The costs here are much lower than in London. There are markets on every corner, so rather than buying a lot of groceries all at once, most people just purchase what they will eat that evening. Also, everything is tiny here. The apartments are all small. Many are only one room with, maybe, a bathroom. Also, the serving sizes here are much smaller.
The food here is wonderful. You can walk down any street and see two or three small shops on within a few blocks. Usually for breakfast I have just went to one of those and spent €.5 for a peach or two. The fruit is delightful, and there are so many different choices.
I went to the Eiffel Tower yesterday. It was nice to finally see. It’s very tall. Much larger in person than I ever imagined. I didn’t go to the top because the line to get there was about an hour and a half long. I did get some pictures from the second level though. I have seen the Louvre (haven’t gone in yet, perhaps today), the Arch de Triumph, and Champs Elysses (sp?). I have so many pictures, but I am not currently able to upload them. I can’t wait to get to a place where I can do that.
I will be going to Lyon within a couple days, and then Switzerland a couple days after that. I have found a place called Interlaken (http://www.interlaken.ch/index.php?id=53&L=3). It is beautiful there from what I can tell.
Looking forward to more later.

Damn It!!! I want to go, now….. Have Fun!!!
Sounds wonderful babe.
Sounds like you are really having a wonderful time.
Can’t wait to see your pics. Bet they are awesome.
Enjoy
Dad – start saving. It’s awesome, but I have a feeling you’d like Switzerland more. We’ll see.
Mom – Everything is great. I’m just getting ready to go to Lyon
Zilla (Whit) – That is a very good song. I miss you too. I am looking forward to getting to talk to you again. Hopefully that will be somewhat soon.
I feel like a total idiot. For some reason I thought you would update the home page, and I checked it a couple times wondering why you weren’t writing and figured you didn’t have internet access or something. But I saw the blog link today. Wow.
Yes, upload more pictures soon. I’ve seen some on Facebook.
