Paris (cont.)

We are on the train to Berlin right now and going to catch you up on where we last left off.

We woke up at about 9:00 and planned on heading to the free tour of Paris. Clint nailed it right on the head comparing the smell to our room to a hampster cage. The tour was really informative and took us around the whole city giving us the history and facts about everything we asked about the day before. There we some obnoxious Canadians just making stupid jokes the whole time trying to act cool...apparently they didn't know they were Canadian.. ZINGGG. After the tour we went to the Arc de Triomphe which has the busiest roundabout (rotary) in the world. It is 8 lanes wide, connects 13 different roads and apparently if you get in an accident the insurance companies won't cover you due to the craziness of it.

The third day in Paris We had to switch hostels so we left our current hostels with our bags and on the way, we got another banana nutella crepe which was scrum-didily-umptious. On the way to the next hostel we had to go through the ghetto of Paris. Much like lawrence or lowell but we didn't feel safe due to the fact everyone was staring at the 2 white kids with huge backpacks on. The only thing cool about this hostel was that the guy that worked there was from Springfield mass.

That night we went on a pub crawl that went to four bars and gave free shots at random parts of the night. We grabbed something to eat right before we started so we had something in out stomach. It was called a hotdog de fromage, but it was not your average hot dog, It was garlic bread with cheese on it with a 2 hot dogs wedeged in the middle. It was the best hot dog we've ever had. The pub crawl wasn't too crazy because it was a Monday night, but it was a good time. Some Canadian bought everyone on the pub crawl (about 20 of us) shots of jager which was cool. We ended up getting our free shots on the bridge over the Sen Canal which i don't think many people can say they have done. Apparently, we were allowed to do that.

The next day we decided to hit up the Musee de O'rsay before we left. It has a lot more art and sculptures by artist that most people would know like Monet, Van Gogh and Cezzane. We had a tough time getting into the museum because we had our bags on. The security guard told us we would be ok, but when we got through the doors they told us we couldn't bring the bags in because they were to big. So we decided to go back to the store where I(Clint) had just bought a postcard and ask the lady to hold our bags. She was more than willing to help us, which has seemed to be the going theme. We went back to the Museum and we were not waiting in the 35 minute line again so we just went up to the door man and he let us right in. Our favorite painting was this one, called Divine Tragedy with angels and demons at war:














Amsterdam coming soon.
