today we took the Eurostar to London! The Eurostar is a high speed train that travels underwater between Paris and London. The trip takes about 2 hours.
For every city we have usually posted a blog with interesting things. So here are some things about Paris!
-the city is definitly a little dirty and smells like urine or sewage in some areas, but we found the people to be generally nice and spoke good english.
-the pastries are as good as people say they are
-fondue is big in paris and delicious!
-most restaurants do not give you free water! and it is expensive, a bottle will cost about 4 euro or 5 dollars.
-there have been no clocks in any of our hotel rooms
-many people make out in public, we found this in all of europe but Paris especially
-the catacombs holds 5 times as many bodies as the current population of Paris and is the biggest catacombs in the world.
so there are some interesting things about Paris and Europe in general.. Now we are in London! We have to pay for internet here so we will be blogging and posting images little less frequently. luckily my wonderful kindle can access internet for free so i could type this blog :)
How did the ride on the underwater Eurostar go? Hope Ryan didn't get sick! Hard to believe you are on the last leg(and week)of your month long adventure! It is amazing how much you have seen, heard and learned. AND thanks to your awesome blog, we have seen, heard and learned a lot too! Loved every update, picture & video here and on Facebook. I hope you enjoy your time in London and don't forget to relax a little. I'm heading to the cabin tomorrow but will be checking the blog & FB on my phone. Looking forward to seeing you on Monday....at the airport in Minnesota!!!

ReplyDeleteFinally back online... Been tough while in the hills. I'm in Sioux Falls at Grandma Galland's. She is loving reading and seeing your updates everyday. She has seen most of the same things your seeing but 50 years ago. Enjoy London and have a safe trip home. Dad
ReplyDeleteOne important thing we have noticed throughout Europe is that Mullets are ubiquitous here. We have seen many people with mullets over here.
