frankfurt.to.paris

Howdy from paris! We flew to frankfurt and hung out there for a day or so. On the plane over, there was one point when it was pretty turbulent, and this lady behind *t* screamed like we were going to crash! We couldn't stop laughing! I loved walking down the river main- there was some big carnival going on on the other side of the river, and there was a sponge bob square pants boat and a bunch of german kids singing the song. It was funny. We had frankfurters for dinner, which (unlike in the US) can only be called frankfurters if they are made in frankfurt. I also had some cider type drink called apfelwein. It was interesting!

Today we took the train to paris. We had our own little compartment which gave us some quiet time which was great considering I only slept for 1.5 hours over the first 40 hours or so. We walked around st. germain de prés (where our hotel is) and had dinner in a great little restaurant. Tomorrow we're going to walk all ove the place (since we've both been here before, we don't feel the need to go to all the big places) and we're taking a train to porto, portugal Wed. afternoon.

So...so far so good! I just need to get used to the rearranged keyboards these crazy french have over here!
