We made it to Paris!

That's the gist of it. All of us are here and I'm the only one who's bag got lost. Hopefully it will show up tomorrow evening. For now I'm borrowing clothes. The gentleman who helped me process my lost luggage has met Larry Kroon at a convention. I must say this world gets smaller and smaller. All day I kept looking around expecting to see someone I knew after that! Margaret and I went on quite the adventure while most everybody took a nap. We walked non stop for hours! Saw the outside of almost every museum/monument and had crepes with nutella and our first cafe and bought 2 paintings from this guy who was painting near the Sein and learned the metro system in 7 hours. My feet were bleeding by the time we rejoined the group under the Eiffle tower for wine and pizza. (My walking shoes and everything else is in the lost bag) now its late. My roommates Evie and Kara are crashed out as I should be. Early morning to Guverny and Versilles! (Please ignore misspelled words) Good night!

  1. Lost bag?? Ugh that's one of my main fears! I actually just went to REI with the backpack Leann loaned me, only to find out that it's two sizes too big and I would do muself some serious injury if I tried to use it. So tomorrow I'll try on Krista's and see if that works. Ah well...I'm so glad you made it safely, and jumped right into things (with apologies to your feet, of course)! Looking forward to more updates...*mwah!*
