Paris and Marseille

We are in Marseille right now, on the southern coast of France. It's pretty nice here, sandy beaches and swimming in the Med. We're leaving tomorrow for Florence, Italy, then to Rome. Paris was a blur, too many people, it was so crowded! We spent the whole first night there lost, we couldn't find our host's bookstore. It was kinda scary and sucky. But we found it the next day. We got to see the Eiffel Tower, walk through the Louvre, Notre Dame, and tons of other huge buildings that I don't even know the names to. Marseille has been slower, but kind of not enough to do besides laying on the beach (and getting the worst sun burn I've ever gotten!). We're trying to change our plane ticket home to an earlier date because there's just not enough to do here if you're poor. If we can't change our tickets, then we might fly out of dublin, spend a few days in New York, then fly home for pretty cheap. it's all still up in the air. Well, I'm out, typing on these French keyboards is hard!

Wewt. We leave tomorrow.

So, our plane leaves at 6:45pm tomorrow. 13 hour flight. It's going to be sweet because I got a brand new crossword book waiting to be solved. We are all ready to leave, and we've been watching 'Passport to Europe' on the Travel Channel to prepare us.

We got another place to stay in Marsielle, and possibly a place in Bern with a Graphic Designer, Art Historian, and Historian (how perfect is THAT?!?). FOR FREE. Couch surfing rules.

That's all we are to report for now. Next time you hear from me I will be in Paris!

Adieu,
