Paris

Well I made it, Paris France. The weather was far more humid then I figured it would be, with 94% humidity. My plane landed at Paris - CDG International airport, and from there I took a cab to my hotel. Traffic in Paris is crazy... Stop signs and lights seem to be taken as suggestions. Motorcycles and Mopeds split lanes with reckless abandon. Zigging and Zagging in front of cars, onto sidewalks, and anywhere else that will put them ahead of the next person on the way to their destination.
Unfortunately my plans for Paris was to check into the Hotel, grab a quick Lunch and then hit The louvre. Well that didn't end up happening, I grabbed lunch, then went back to my room to look up the best way to get to the museum, when I was attacked by jet lag, being awake mostly for the last 24 hours with only a couple hours of sleep, I closed my eyes for a few minutes and woke up a few hours later.

So I did what anyone would do... I went for a walk from my hotel at 36 Rue De L'Echiquier and must have walked about 5 or so Miles. Walked up all around managing to get lost 3 or 4 times. Paris is one of the only places that I have been too that 4 left turns puts you in a completely different spot then you started. I had a lot of fun walking around the area I am staying. In the evening I spotted a bunch of lights from my hotel, and walked up to it, about 8 city blocks, and found Paroisse St Vincent de Paul. Tomorrow if all goes well and I can figure out where to catch my train, I will go to Rouen, check into my hotel, and then find a way to get up to the Normandy beaches, and see some of the WWII Memorials.
