My second day in Paris

Day two, we woke up at 10am… breakfast at the hostel is included (it is a bed and breakfast) but breakfast at the hostel ends at 10 am. Convenient eh!? We were all just getting ready since we had to be out by noon. We left and explored a different area near our hostel. We stopped at BNP which is like the BofA in France and if you are a BofA customer, you can withdraw from BNP without a 5 euro charge. (By the way, the conversion rate now sucks!) Looked into buying cell phones, and bought crepes. Mine was sugar and lemon juice. YUMMY. I am soo going to gain weight here… but alas, the amount of walking that we do counteracts that eating.

After buying 5 day unlimited train/metro/bus passes and 4 day museum passes, we caught the train to the Louvre and pretty much spent the entire day there in the museum and in the gardens.

The Louvre

We got lunch not too far from the Louvre and ate giant sandwiches because that is how sandwiches are made in France. We walked by the Musee d’Orsay just to take pictures of the building (we were pretty much tired of looking at art after a day at the Louvre). We caught the train back to our hostel and stopped to get some uninteresting groceries for snacks. We spent most of the night trying to get internet. The hostel makes you pay for WiFi, but it didn’t work for Trang and me… so we had to just pay Shelby so that we could use her computer for internet. It was seriously stressful.
