Updates

It has been awhile, and I think this blog will go faster for me because I am getting used to the French keyboard...this could be troublesome when I go home and have to readjust. Ok, so I am finished each and every workcamp, and now I can relax...except that I cannot because I am staying in a hostel and apparently there is a reason they are called youth hostels. It is because you would be crazy to stay in one if you are over the age of 25, or if you value sleep. And I am trying to recover from strep-throat, which is hard to do with the medicine prescribed to me by the utterly thorough doctor who walked in the door, shone a light down my throat and wrote a prescription. But slowly I feel better!
And enough of the whining.
I LOVE Paris. Did anyone know that it is supremely beautiful? It is such a pleasure to simply be able to walk through this city. I wish I had all the time in the world so that I did not need a guide book or some idea of what I want to do, because it is my favourite thing just to start walking towards one destination and to get lost...you find so many beautiful and interesting things along the way.
I have not been in anything except the Musée d'Orsay, but I have seen Bastille, Le Louvre, Le Tour Eiffel, Le Grand Palais, Les Halles, St Eustache, La Seine, and so much more. I look forward to going to the Catacombs, Notre Dame, and all other sites.
Everyone should come be with me in Paris.
