Unlike the previous night, I got back before 3 AM this time! (Sort of a long story.)
My day in brief: Today I accidentally slept in a little long, so I didn't get to do as much as I'd hoped, but I still had a nice time. I mostly explored the "Latin" area. Notre Dame was beautiful – I took plenty of pictures. It was evening when I saw it, so unfortunately I couldn't go inside then. But I'll certainly be back. I had dinner right across the street from it – onion soup and hot chocolate.
Reasons I do not like the Metro (and I miss the Tube!):
- It's too complicated to navigate!
- I bought a week-long pass, but it only starts working next Monday. And I can't buy day-long passes; only tickets for each trip (and they cost the same whether you take a bus or the Metro).
- Once, I got on a train going the wrong direction and got off at the next stop to change sides, only to find that at that station I had to exit and pay again to get on!
- There are lots and lots of RATS!
- The stations are very dirty and not very interesting to look at.
- I haven't seen a single musician performing... but I DID see a couple homeless men that did a funny version of hip-hop dancing.
Plans: Louvre tomorrow? Also, I’ll try to call Chloe again (I got her voice mail last time). Maybe we can meet for dinner.
