This morning I arrived in Paris. I got to my hotel and was
just too exited to sleep. Many people would just crash after a red-eye flight
like mine, but not me! When you are traveling to such a place as
Paris, you just can’t wait to see all the wonders. Europe is known for its art and
learning, and I sure am set out to learn as much as I can! The art is just
wonderful here, and I cannot get over the beauty and precision of it all! I am
so happy to be is the capital city of France, living the life of luxury! l wish i could to travel southwest to Spain or east to Germany! I can only do so much in my limited time though! I only have three months to travel to the north, east, south, and west of Europe. That means three weeks per country. I at least want to travel to the Alps and go for a hike and have a picnic with some of my friends, visit the Fifth Republic, and of course see the Eiffel Tower and climb up the 1665 steps to see the wonderful views! I probably won’t see Jean Marc Ayrault, the prime minister. This semi-presidential Government is very interesting and I hope to learn more about it. There are many friendly people here; I have met many new friends. I am destined to meet new friends though, as the population is 2,234,105 people! I have learned a little bit of frech since being here, like "Où se trouve le restaurant le plus proche?" which means, "Where is the nearest restaurant?" and "Merci" which is, "Thank You". I had some trouble with the european euro when i first got here. I traded about twenty dollars and got fifteen dollars ans thiry nine cents in euros. I thought that the money here was weaker and had some trouble realizing it is stronger. Silly me. I hope to learn about the diversity of religion and freedom of beleifs. I want to go boating, golfing, and biking here and attemp to try some of their other activities as well. I want to eat crepes all day, they are so good! France has crepes, which are really thin pancakes, and can be filled wth pretty much anything you want. i am so happy to be here in France and cant wait for more to come! I also found this and felt that i must share it. Did you know that it is illegal to name a pig nepolean in France? I am not certain that this is true, but it was very interesting!
