Arrival in Paris

Today's adventures began with a journey under the English Channel via train to Paris. The speeding train could travel up to 203 miles per hour. Paris is absolutely incredible and the food is delicious. Everything I have eating is heavenly and the rich flavors melt in your mouth. We ate our dinner at a cafe on a busy street corner, sitting at a small table in cozy chairs facing the streets, the people, the city and enjoyed our order of pasta. We also have indulged many sweets a cookies a tarts some ice cream, but I can't forget about that amazing ham and cheese sandwich. It was the first thing I ate in Paris and it was one of the best sandwiches I had ever tasted.

We went on a short tour at Notre Dame and attended services there later that evening. We strolled around town experiencing the rich lively culture of Paris and hearing murmurs of french phrases accompanied by think accents. Luckily for us, most people we have spoken with can speak English quite well and we haven't run into any problems with the language barrier. Tomorrow, we plan to visit the Louvre and possibly the Eiffel tower. Paris is so lovely, but I feel a bit of longing for London and look forward to my return to Pax Lodge on Sunday.
