We arrived at 10 am and by the time we got an airport shuttle (train) to the transit and rode that – VERY SLOW – train into the city and got to our hotel it was about 1pm. Check-in wasn\u2019tuntil 3 pm, but they were ready and let us take our room. It\u2019s tiny, but very nice and certainly clean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We got ourselves arranged and then collapsed for a nap. Not much sleeping happend on the plane so we were pretty tired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After our nap we went out to explore. We had lunch (or perhaps it was breakfast, or supper – the whole time, lack of food, and lack of coffee was confusing all issues. It was a great place called Arthur & Juliette<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As we walked we saw some interesting sites. The best are in the gallery below. One thing we noted was a small example of pixel art. I diid a bit of research on this phenomenon and found that a guy who calls himself Invader<\/a> has done this art all over the world. But this specific piece isn\u2019t included in his galley – so maybe a copycat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Paris is very cool! Language is not an issue. So far, I\u2019ve prepared my limited French for a couple of interactions and found the personI was addressing was fine with English. For example I ordered coffee with milk and sugar very nicely in French – \u2018cafe avec lait et sucre, s\u2019il vous plait\u2019 (thanks Wafa!) and he replied \u2018so, coffee with milk and sugar?\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n That\u2019s about all for now. Enjoy the photos. Time to get moving here to see more sights!<\/p>\n\n\n\n We were tired after the overnight flight, but after a brief nap felt we needed to get out and see a bit of Paris. These are a few interesting sights and observances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n
