Stupid Americans?

Hello all...so Adam and I have been recognized as Americans and we don't know how. We are constantly being cut in line and not even given so much as a look from the French. Other than that everything is great. Today we slept in until about 9:15 (I got 13 hours of sleep last night) and we headed to the Louvre. We saw the infamous Mona Lisa, which was not anything special compared to all the other magnificent pieces of art that are there. We had a beautiful day and ate our lunch outside of the Louvre on the grass. We then headed to Notre Dame which was awesome. We took plenty of pictures at both places. I have also been enjoying the crepes that are here. I got one yesterday and one today - both with Nutella. They were delicious! Adam and my feet have been KILLING us. All the walking and being tired has not helped but it's okay - when in Rome I suppose. Adam has been using a new deoderant called "Showtime" and announces it every time he puts it on because that won't get old or anything haha We are about to head out to go get some dinner then see the Eiffel Tower for the night show. Tomorrow night we will end up in Switzerland to stay with Cedric and relax and see the homeland. Au revoir!

Bonjour!

We made it to Paris safe and sound after a very interesting flight on Air India. It was a little smelly in the airport to say the least, but the plane wasn't so bad. Adam and I were asked to change seats so a family could sit together...luckily we were able to sit in a two seater next to the window and an aisle. The seats were rather uncomfortable and we had the luxury of seeing the box office hit - "Freedom Writers" I was a fan but Adam was not. The food was quite different as well. We dediced to starve instead of eating the meals. Once we landed in Paris we dropped our bags off at the hostel and began to site see. We walked up to the Sacre Coure right down the street then walked the streets of the Champs Elysee and walked through the Louvre. Tomorrow we plan on doing a more thorough walk through of the Louvre. We are both so exhausted and can't wait to go to bed. I will write back soon!
