We've arrived in Paris

We awoke at 3:30am to get our plane to Paris. This flight we managed to get priority boarding and the plane was not nearly full, so we sat in the 2nd row with an empty seat between us.

Our flight was on RyanAir, a European discount airline. So because our tickets were so cheap, they fly not to the main Paris Airport, but to Beauvais, which is about a 1 hour bus ride from the city. We didn't mind because we got to see some of the countryside.

Once in Paris, we walked several blocks to our hotel. As soon as we got off the bus Tom and I both looked at each other, the smell of baked goods was overwhelming. The walk to the hotel was very fragrant, there were alot of flower markets, and fruit/vegetable markets on the street, alot of sidewalk cafes and alot of mopeds.

After checking in we went to our first meal of fine French Cuisine (Pizza). The first language test came at the restaurant where the waiters and staff only spoke Italian.

Tom is crashed right now, after we rest a bit we will head out to see some sights.
