Plans Change

Hello from France,

Heather and I spent 2 days in Paris and came to the conclusion you really need money in Paris. We did okay, visiting the Louve, several parks, the catacombs, and much more. We also met up with two guys from Chicago and spent an afternoon roaming around Paris with them, they were fun and good for warding off all the french men.

In our hostel, we spoke to a well traveled Canadian who spent serious time in Morocco and she told us how much she dislike/felt uncomfortable in Lisbon, so we have decided to go back to Ireland for a couple days (Cork), then travel to Andorra and meet Nicole in Barcelona on the 7th. Crazy huh?

Currently we are spending the night in Cherbourg and heading to Ireland tomorrow. The town is crawling with American sailors, so we are enjoying speaking English and the free drinks that the boys want to buy us. They are funny though, almost none of them have ever heard of hostels before. There are also lots of women, one very cute one who carries all her earrings in a bag and puts them in on land since her superiors do not like them.

Everyone in France has been so friendly and helpful. Heather has been doing awesome with picking up the language. She had learned a little about 12 years ago but was awesome with pronouciations. It is so cool to see her pick it up. My french is horrible because I want to pronounce everything in the Spanish way but I can read pretty well though.

Finally I am uploading images from my camera. There should be more to come soon. Miss you all, hope you are enjoying your summer.
